Proud of my Governor. Jerry Brown FTW! Now I need to ask for a raise. 
And STFU to the Tom Scotts of the world who espouse extreme greed and disguise it as being devastating to small business. Maybe a rising wage is a tide that will lift all boats.
yeah… I sorta support this law… my beef is that it takes too long to bring the minimum wage up and that the Legislature and Jerry had their hands forced because of the threat of a referendum to raise minimum wage in California…
San Francisco and Los Angeles have already set $15 minimum… it sucks that it only goes up $.50 next year and doesn’t hit $15 until 2022… by then cost of living will have caught up or passed that…
Wages will rise with inflation each year thereafter.
Ooh, very good. Not that inflation is a problem now (in fact, we need more of it - a 3% target would be healthier for the economy) but inflation lowered the minimum wage by 40% from 1970 to 1990 despite nominal increases.
