If any of you lefties thought that you party was not controlled by the same financial elite who control the establishment Republicans...
and
Since you were not smart enough to learn that during the Obamacare screw over of single payer...

you just learned it ... via this Kabuki.


Welcome to the club of being screwed over by the party you vote for..

You all just got the 2021 version of a - Paul Ryan / Mitch McConnell - Pelosi / Reid... special.
 
Apparently Kroger does not have a viable business.
(which brings up another point, messing with the supply demand curves for labor will likely drive out more businesses in lower socioeconomic communities.)

If you wish to increase the standard of living for low wage workers... cease importing millions of low wage workers.

Pure bullshit. You can't pass it on if you don't have a viable business without labor subsidies, otherwise you can. And remember: 1) it's phased in over time! ; 2) If the minimum goes up by 108% (7.25 to 15) over 4 years, the amount of labor cost increase passed on per annum to maintain constant profits, in the majority of cases, will amount to a tiny fraction of 108% of final price, the only exceptions being cases where under 15/hr labor is a major part of a final products cost. And even there its not much per year when spread out over 4 years.

If you can't afford to pay your full-time employees a living wage you don't deserve to be in business. Find something else to do, like go to work for someone who knows how to run a profitable business.
