California voters have rejected Prop 32, which would have raised the state’s minimum wage from $16 to $18.
With 100% of the ballots tallied, the measure was rejected by a 0.8% margin (50.8 - 49.2), according to the California Secretary of State’s office. The total vote difference for the proposition was 234,146.
Why would anyone vote against it?
Maybe it was written by the same person who wrote the title of this Post? Lol
It was a really bad year for California props, people just took a hard right turn.
No to: raise the minimum wage, provide housing, abolish slavery
Yes to: harsher sentencing and some weird vendetta a rich guy has against an AIDS nonprofit
Motherfuckers complain about homeless population nonstop and then refuse to pass anything to fix it.
Work in the trades. You’ll see a fuck ton of people who are against minimum wage going up.
Why?
It increases the cost of living for everything else.
Yes, I know that the cost of living is going up regardless, but that is their answer.
That sounds a lot like “I make more than them and if they get a raise I won’t”. The cost of living has nothing to do with that lol
But thst doesn’t happen when they have raised the minimum wage in other places. Why do they think that?
Propaganda from the ruling class.
this has been disproven time and time again and is just propaganda you are parroting.
What a poorly written headline (not by OP). It makes it sound like rejecting the proposition will raise minimum wage by $2, when that’s what the proposition would have done. Technically correct, using the less-common usage of a comma to include a second subject. But if that’s not intentional and malicious, ABC News has a terrible editor…
Is there a place for posting titles that say the opposite of what they mean? Like the “Don’t Dead, Open Inside”. That comma ruins it. I can only assume they edited some words out of the one line without reading the result.
