Damn fools about it
As Wellington said after Waterloo: “They came on in the same old way, and we sent them back in the same old way.” Or, as WC Fields said: “If at first you don’t succeed, try, try, again. Then quit. There’s no use in being a damn fool about it.”
S’truth. And yet.
Woke Extremist Minneapolis City Council Demands $30.60/Hour Minimum Wage for Uber and Lyft Drivers; Uber and Lyft Both Announce They Will Abandon Minneapolis
Faced with public anger about driving out the popular ride-share services, the woke extremists of the city council say they may delay when the order goes into effect.But they’re only doing that to allow other ride-share companies — are there any? — to enter the Minneapolis market.
By the way, I base the headline claim of a $30.60 per hour minimum wage on the city council’s demand that drivers be paid a minimum 51 cents per minute when ferrying passengers.
California recently imposed a $20/hour minimum wage for fast food workers. There’s now a $16/hour minimum wage for all other jobs.
Companies immediately began firing workers and closing down stores.
A pizza chain announced the closure of five stores in California.
Analysts forecast that this law will gift California with increased unemployment for years.
That’s putting it in the best possible light.
And there you have it. As Billy Pilgrim said: “All this happened, more or less.” And so it goes.
