The Long Beach City Council mandated a pay raise for frontline workers such as grocery store employees. Seems like a fine idea to give people raises if the numbers work out, but they seldom do and the Long Beach City Council didn’t even bother to check — and ordering private companies to increase wages isn’t even its job.Neither is abdicating the hard work of governing, which should entail telling people “No†to their worst ideas. But it’s what we’ve got wherever Democrats have power now.Result in this case: two closed Krogers (a Ralph's and a Food 4 Less). Now people profess “shock†at the real-world consequences of dumb politicians doing dumb things.
I wonder whether any other stores will do similarly or cut their labor costs in other ways.
The authoritarian elite, rather than learn the obvious lesson of what comes from their monkeying around with the market, will simply pass a law making it illegal to close.
We're moving into Atlas Shrugs, to be followed by 1984.
Oh, we're definitely into 1984. That was an instruction manual, after all.Atlas Shrugged is not going to be allowed, slaves are property and cannot quit.
