Looks like it depends where you are getting your news:


California’s $20 Fast-Food Minimum Wage Is a Win-Win-Win, Research Says

A study by UC Berkeley economists says the state’s mandated hourly minimum pay hike increased worker income, but left employment and menu price levels largely unchanged.

I think it's too early to call it. But you keep fear mongering.
 
that’s for sure, I wouldn’t believe anything coming out of a place like Cal Berkeley. You really believe this part of the report? Have you gone to In-N-Out lately? They’ve been trying to keep prices down and the jump was significantly more Than $.15 a burger. …Have you eaten out lately?

“We obtained price data by scraping menus from 1,585 California restaurants and 1,694 restaurants in states without a minimum wage increase … (finding the law) increased prices about 3.7 percent, or about 15 cents on a $4 hamburger,” the report said.
 
Thanks boy King!!!...Making it more affordable to live here with a .50 cent per gallon hike in gas prices in order to make it more available for us….you sure understand economics…that works…Morons!!…👎🏽😡😡😡

As Newsom urges refinery controls, California regulators consider hike in gas prices

Newsom recently called a special legislative session to consider controversial new controls on state oil refineries, and the California Air Resources Board — the state agency tasked with regulating planet-warming emissions — soon will consider stricter limits on the carbon intensity of fuels.

In September of last year, CARB estimated that the change could lift gasoline prices 47 cents a gallon, or $6.4 billion a year.

Other analysts put the price even higher — 65 cents a gallon, or $8.8 million a year.


Legislators from both parties are now voicing frustration over what they say is CARB's troubling lack of transparency.

THAT'LL bring the gas prices down! So glad I live close to work. I've filled the tank just 8 times so far this year.

India, South Korea, the Middle East: Where California will get its gasoline when Phillips refinery shuts down


California for decades produced enough gasoline to supply almost all of its own needs, but the era of self-sufficiency is coming quickly to an end.

The Phillips 66 refinery complex in Wilmington and Carson now produces 1.3 billion gallons of gasoline annually, which will leave a huge gap to be filled after its planned closure late next year. With no pipelines into the state, and no plans to add new refineries, California will need to make up for the deficit by imports via ocean tanker — in what analysts say will be a costly endeavor, and one with inherent risks of supply disruptions.

“This is going to make California even more dependent on a longer supply chain. Not only will we see average upward pressure on prices, but probably volatility to prices as well," said Skip York, chief energy strategist for industry consultant Turner, Mason & Co.

California imports about 1.1 billion gallons of gasoline annually, or 8% of its supply, following other refinery closures or conversions in recent years. With the loss of the Phillips plant, the state will need to import as much as 17% of its supply to make up the deficit.

The potential sources include South Korea, Japan, India and other Asian refineries; Britain and the Netherlands; Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.

A gasoline tanker’s voyage to California from Singapore, another gasoline supplier, would take 30 to 40 days, York said, and supply chain snags — caused by a typhoon, or a war, or a worldwide outbreak of some virus — could add weeks to that lengthy schedule if not disrupting it entirely.

This is an unelected group of political hacks who are about to raise your taxes without voter approval…Thanks Boy King…criminal!😡😡👎🏽🦄🌈

California regulators are pressed to come clean on gasoline prices


  • California Air Resources Board is set to vote Friday on a measure many say is likely to raise gas prices. Officials say they won’t make a prediction, after initially giving an estimate of 47 cents a gallon.
  • Some lawmakers and others want the vote delayed until there is a cost estimate of the measure, which is aimed at hastening the transition away from fossil fuels.

Newsom Assures Californians They Will Be Safe From All The Trump Administration's Prosperity, Safety, Lower Prices

SACRAMENTO, CA — In a statement intended to assuage the fears of Democratic voters throughout the state, Governor Gavin Newsom assured Californians that they would be kept safe from all of the Trump administration's prosperity, safety, and lower prices.

California residents who had fallen into despair following Trump's victory were relieved to hear that Governor Newsom would be doing everything in his power to shield them from the restoration of hope and happiness offered by Trump's return to the White House.

"Trump's message of peace, success, and security has no power here," Newsom said in a defiant announcement this morning. "I want to assure all Californians that despite Trump being re-elected, they will never have to live in fear that they will be subjected to lower crime rates, affordable groceries, and reduced risk of global thermonuclear war. That type of bright future and hope for a better tomorrow has no place in California."

Mayor Bass attempts to make LA a sanctuary city before Trump takes office. After the very public issues NYC experienced as a sanctuary city. After Gascon lost by a landslide. Bill Clinton was good at reading the room and adjusting his agenda accordingly. Today's liberal democrat not so much.

Is California Turning Purple?

Almost across the board, California voters rejected leftist ballot initiatives, often by wide margins. “State voters took a hammer to the most progressive propositions,” noted I&I contributor Thomas Buckley.

Examples:

  • After watching previous minimum wage increases devastate local businesses and do little to improve the welfare of unskilled workers, a ballot initiative to hike the state’s minimum wage to $18 lost by a 51% to 49% margin.
  • Even after Bidenflation drove up housing costs, voters rejected an initiative that would have let cities and counties impose strict rent control laws. Back in 1995, the state approved the Costa-Hawkins Rental Housing Act, which blocked cities and counties from imposing rent control on certain types of housing or when units become vacant. By a whopping 60%-40% margin, Californians voted to keep that 1995 law in place.
  • A proposal to lower the threshold for local bond measures from a two-thirds supermajorty to a 55% majority went down in flames, with 55% of Californians voting against it.
  • By a 69% to 31% margin, voters who’ve watched their cities get ripped apart by crime said “enough,” and approved a tough-on-crime measure that would “increase penalties for certain drug crimes and theft convictions and allow a new class of crime to be called treatment-mandated felony.”
  • Trump got more than 5.7 million votes this year – which is 1.2 million more than he won in 2016. Kamala Harris managed to get only 103,000 more than Hillary Clinton captured in 2016.
  • Trump’s vote share, meanwhile, has climbed in both his reelection efforts. It went from 31.5% in 2016, to 34.3% in 2020, to 38% this year.
  • Trump made big gains among Hispanics in the state. In fact, he definitively won three of the four counties with the biggest share of Hispanics — Tulare (by a 59%-43% margin), Merced (52%-46%), and Colusa (63%-34%). And Harris barely carried Imperial, which has the highest percentage of Latino residents in the state, winning by a 50%-47% margin.

California Fast Food Restaurants Shed Thousands of Jobs after $20 Minimum Wage Hike

California’s fast food industry shed more than 6,000 jobs after Democratic lawmakers passed a bill mandating a $20 minimum wage for most fast food and counter service restaurants in the state, according to a new analysis of labor data.
“Newsom took a sledgehammer to the state’s restaurants when he signed the $20 fast food minimum wage law,” Rebekah Paxton, EPI’s research director, said in a press release. “Jobs have been smashed by thousands and the industry is struggling to stay afloat.”
