Minimum Wage In L.A. Is Raised to $15/hr.

This seems like a great thing to happen, but really...we're truly fucked. Why? Businesses don't like to be fucked with. Small business specifically. They'll pick up stakes and say "fuck you!" Mom and Pop cannot afford to sustain this type of propaganda garbage, if they do so. So here's the rub...we're going to see a LOT more under the table work. Which invites much more shady shit. Unless, they are documented workers. Which, we know isn't going to happen. So what happens. The tiny middle class is now expanded to include lower class. Is that good? Nope. Cost of living goes up. The demand to live in nicer places goes up. Guess what else goes up? Rent. Think you can't afford to live in L.A. before, get ready to not only be able to scrape by, but also argue with land lords AND, it's not like overnight a person in poverty just up and learns consideration. That low bass, ranchero, rap, country is coming to a town near you.

Is this unwarranted fear? Not to me, that shit already exists in my 'hood. But it's going to piss a ton of people off who were sitting comfy without certain groups injecting themselves into your lives. Also, guess what else disappears...our ability to hang on to the corporate jobs we have since the prices will need to be raised. Fuck you. That cost doesn't go back to the client, since they'll take their business elsewhere. And I wouldn't even blame them. So Eric Fucking Garceti...for you to get votes...you gutted the infrastructure of Angelenos by playing into their idiotic whims. No wonder people think we're stupid fucking idiots.
