Republicans won’t raise the federal min wage of $7.25 because they Claim it will tank the economy—hasn’t budged since 2009.
California raised it to $16.50 statewide, $20/hour for fast food—and in cities like West Hollywood, it’s $19.61.
No collapse. No chaos. Just the 4th biggest economy on Earth.

Not only is California the 4th largest economy in the world—it’s growing faster than any of the top three: U.S., China, and Germany.
Red state Republicans love to hate us… but they sure don’t mind cashing the checks.

AWESOME!!!
Republicans have lied about the results of their economy for 50+ years!
Shared success grows
Those voters need a little refresher on how that all works ... and not in their favor.
Everything MAGA wants prevents peace and prosperity, which is why red states are deadbeats dependent on our wealth.
Silicon Valley would just have to pull together a bit 😂
The mechanism involved should be investigated.
Most blue states already have a higher min wage.

Texas cheats to lure greedy corporations & individuals.

Societies on the whole make more money when those that make the least money make enough to spend.
It’s not hard.
Even that high minimum is barely livable in all the major cities. NIMBYism is what actually puts California at risk of collapse.
Is 110 yrs old
California is about 70🇺🇸🤭
States with the highest poverty rates (top 10):
Louisiana: 18.9%
Mississippi: 18.7%
New Mexico: 16.8%
West Virginia: 15.8%
Arkansas: 15.2%
Kentucky: 14.9%
Alabama: 14.9%
District of Columbia: 15%
Georgia: 14%
Oklahoma: 14.3%
This milestone places California behind only the United States, China, and Germany in global economic rankings. The state's robust growth—6% in 2024—outpaced that of the U.S. (5.3%), China (2.6%), and Germany (2.9%).
I hear Sarah Huckleberry Sanders is begging Dtrump for FEMA money for Arkansas.
Nope.
He said no after many attempts by this red state.
Maybe she should call Gavin, she might have better luck
Just sayin

Seems to me that not many hourly workers are in fact paid *the* current minimum wage.
My teen made enough for college working part-time at Shake Shack.
Oh, BTW, Shake Shack is 🌈 friendly.
I want to know what they're using that money for because I don't think it's being used to help people
I believe we are already and have been for years the third most powerful economy on Earth!

Which proves that reasonable inflation adjusted minimum wage does not cause hyperinflation or huge job losses.
Would be a pity and a great loss for the whole country.
It’s the Caste in office that should be dismissed, exiled, washed away.
This country needs to carry out a 2nd Revolution, not with 3 million (in 1776) but with today’s 300 million
Without CA the US has major problems so it's time for the state to use that leverage.
Let's go!

In #Denmark there is no official #MinimumWage; instead, wages are determined through collective agreements between unions and employers.
California always sets the standard as well, we are the nation's proof of concept. Proud to be in that position.
