So awesome. This is like the female version of Clayton Tucker except she probably doesn’t live with her mom and she actually ran a REAL business for a while. Then she shot herself in the dick and found out the hard way why jacking up the minimum wage above the natural market-clearing rate is always a disaster.
My favorite line?
“Luckenbach said she supports higher wages in theory but couldn’t sustain the increase.”
Ah yes. Theory. In THEORY wouldn’t it be awesome if we could all contribute according to our ability and take according to our need? In REALITY, you get Soviet Russia or East Germany or Cuba because command economies run counter to basic human nature. Only capitalism can harness a human’s innate self-interest into efficient resource allocation.
Why not just raise your menu prices about 30%?? That’s what Clayton Tucker (who has never run or even worked in a restaurant) said you need to do. Everybody deserves a “livable wage” with a trip to Hawaii every year and a big, cool house with an 85” TV set. It’s in the Constitution!
This reminds me of the time those scumbags at ACORN spent all their time pushing for higher minimum wage laws and then when California enacted them, ACORN itself sued for an exemption because “wait a minute, we can’t afford to pay people that much.”
Typical libtards…. everything is “in theory” for them:
We’ll be safer without guns…. in theory.
Everything would be better if its free…. in theory.
Unlimited deficits are awesome… in theory.
Fantasy land for these fuckheads.
