@TheHarryleemartin "That's not California." Oh. Which stores are Rubios closing in other states?

@TheHarryleemartin So the cost of labor has nothing to do with the viability of a restaurant?

@TheHarryleemartin you know nothing about business. The irony meter just went off the scale.

@TheHarryleemartin I've run a consulting company for over two decades, and I possess 3 degrees (from prestigious east coast universities) Labor costs are the biggest costs in running a business. Anybody who claims to have run a business and doesn't understand that is just a bullsh*tter. Why do you think so many businesses are fleeing California and moving elsewhere? Huge market, lots of people with money, and you think they're leaving is because their business model is terrible. And yet the model works everywhere else.

@JRcalifornia Well, it's not just that it's $20/hr, it's also the employees there have no real skill. The value of a person with no skills is not $40K/year (which is what $20/hour works out to) it's closer to half that.

@ango586 His point was that if you can't afford to stay in california, move to where you can afford to live. Don't expect the government to subsidize where you'd like to live.

This is really on the voters of California. They apparently believe they can get the government to force those evil companies to give them a "living wage" (which is a nonsense phrase) and it will have no consequences. Enjoy.

@diegoflores9237 "Funny how you never complain about ceo salary increases" Oh, so anybody can do a CEO's job? Why don't all the workers who are now jobless apply for his job?

@HeadsUpNorth If every fast food eatery closed down it would actually improve the health of society. So they'd go to more upscale restaurants then? Which ones would they go to?
