The $20 per hour burger flipper HotAir

That may be a conversation you hear before too long at your local fast-food joint, assuming you live in California. This week, Gavin Newsom thrilled the liberal Democrats in his state by signing a bill that will raise the minimum wage for fast food workers to $20 per hour beginning on April 1, 2024. Choosing April Fools Day to have the law take effect was probably intentional since the joke will wind up being on the consumers. But Newsom declared that he was proud of the work the legislature did on this project and predicted that fairness and equity were sure to follow. (AP)

In-N-Out already pays $20/hour and their burgers and fries are better too. Of course, they cost more.
