RICHMOND, Va. — Republican Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin vetoed two top Democratic legislative priorities on Thursday: bills that would have allowed the recreational retail sales of marijuana to begin next year and measures mandating a minimum wage increase. The development did not come as a surprise. While Youngkin had not explicitly threatened to veto either […]
Who could possibly have seen this coming? California’s minimum wage for fast food workers is going up next week and some chains are already planning layoffs in response. Newsom signed the bill raising the minimum wage last September. When it takes effect on April 1, fast food workers in California will have the highest guaranteed […]
California is already beginning to see the consequences of raising its minimum wage for certain workers as fast-food chains begin to slash their workforces in response to the hike to $20 per hour.

OPINION: It’s always exciting when the left finds another group of Americans to hate. First, it was former President Barack Obama’s bitter clingers, then Hillary Clinton’s “basket of deplorables,” followed by President Biden’s “ultra-MAGA” Republicans, insurrectionists and Christian nationalists.

While Gavin Newsom and his cronies in the California legislature pat themselves on the back for their selfless magnanimity in raising the state’s minimum wage, others have noticed a strange exemption whose beneficiary has ties to the governor himself.

“Fight for $15? Why not just make the minimum wage 50 dollars? Or a hundred?” That’s what fair-minded critics of the minimum like me routinely ask, right before we point out that the actual minimum wage is actually zero — and that it prices people who need their first job out of finding one. […]
California’s new minimum wage hike has not even gone into effect and it is already costing the jobs of the very people it was supposed to help. The Democrat-dominated state Legislature passed Assembly Bill 1228 in September and Gov. Gavin Newsom quickly signed it into law. The law raises the minimum wage for fast food […]
