The minimum wage is $0.
If your labor isn't worth what the job is mandated to pay, you will make $0 by not being hired.

I trust that Cali Gov challenger also supports a robust ecosystem of trade unions.

Edit: And sound currency, that too.

So he just wants to abolish the minimum wage?
Pretty much.

Doesn't really matter which side you're on when it comes to wages since employers are short staffed to the point they pay ridiculous wages with benefits they never offered before. What people should be worried about is when the SCOTUS finally gets off their asses and enforces a ruling against the CDC for their Eviction Memorandum, instead of calling it moot because "it will be over next week anyways". When that's gone people that weren't paying their rent are going to be evicted, and they'll be in crippling debt with interest.

Abolishing the minimum wage wouldn't have any meaningful impact on this mass labor boycott we're seeing, anyway.

Lmao an article about Larry Elder being a black white supremacist that unironically uses the phrase "skin folk but not kin folk".

I'm surprised it doesn't straight up call him a race traitor. Sure the implication is there but it goes all out in every other regard.

Bullshit, they hire people that will curse all through out their interviews just to get some hands.

You had to be either making a lot more money from working, a complete idiots, or not qualify for unemployment to actually work. Otherwise you would be making an extra $600 a week originally then an extra $300 a week currently, all that on top of whatever your state's pay out was. Quite frankly, most part timers don't make anywhere close to that, even some full timers don't quite reach that.

He also apparently doesnt believe that racial profiling exists. This is despite telling The Times editorial board that police pulled him over between 75 and 100 times the first year he had his drivers license.

This. Furthermore, the origins of the minimum wage law in the United States are attributed to prominently white labor unions wanting to disfranchise unskilled black Americans in the work force from employment opportunities over them. It is always astounding that the same number of people on the left that could suddenly understand why tariffs are bad (excluding progressives that adhere to nativism anyhow lol), cannot comprehend the disastrous consequences of price hikes in other sectors of the economy. Corporations pay for minimum wage hikes and corporate tax hikes the way China pays for tariffs, they dont.
Way to repeat pagerU bullshit. Why pay employees at all? After all, corporate doesn't actually pay for those wages!!1

By the way, tariffs aren't all bad or good, it depends on the tariff. It's like saying all regulation is bad or good.

@DirkDiggles

Funny you mention this. In the 1990s Elder and Aaron McGruder had a big war on L.A. radio. Elder on conservative KABC, McGruder on every hip hop station in L.A.

I've always wondered if McGruder created Uncle Ruckus based off Elder.

I am no fan of economists -generally- but they are at least expert and knowledgeable. The biggest critique is that "negative externalities" aka real world things like discrimination and sexism to take just 2 examples are external and not part of their models are 2 examples. They are flawed analysts. Better that though than the "do my own research" crowd.

Take 2 weeks off from North Korea shilling, then close your account.

$0 an hour wage wouldn't matter anyway even if it did come in effect.

Jobs are still going to start their pay at a somewhat competitive amount, because no one is going to sign up for a $1 an hour job

Average pay tends to be higher when there's less regulation on minimum wage. If the law says it's 10, then all the basic jobs have no reason to be competitive and they aren't offering more then 10. If it was 0, they don't know where to start so that theyr aren't constantly hiring people to replace those who quit and that forces them to be competitive.

Basically that's what he's trying to push for. For companies and employees to agree on a fair wage themselves instead of the government getting involved.

It sounds good on paper, but the reality is, large corporations would try to pay workers as little as possible. Thankfully, even if this jackass gets into office, he can't remove the federal minimum wage.

Rising crime? [Its] because of this phony narrative that the police are engaging in systemic racism and cops are pulling back, Elder said. "... When you reduce the possibility of a bad guy getting caught, getting convicted and getting incarcerated, guess what? Crime goes up.

He's not wrong. Hope he wins for California's sake.
