Oakland’s New Mayor Thinks $50 Minimum Wage Will Solve Inflation Woes – Twitchy

This writer isn’t great at math, which is why she majored in English and later got a nursing degree.

But she also has a basic grasp of economics and she knows raising the minimum wage doesn’t make things more affordable and it certainly doesn’t address inflation.

To the contrary, it makes things more expensive and makes inflation worse.

Yet the new mayor of Oakland thinks a $50 minimum wage is the answer to economic woes:

Good luck, Oakland.

When your economic plan sounds like it was brainstormed in a college dorm at 2 a.m.—but you’re running a city.

Nothing good comes of this.

How do these people survive?

Excellent question.

She never explained how that would be economically sustainable. That was the question that she completely avoided!!

Because it’s not sustainable.

Businesses will leave Oakland. People will lose jobs. The real minimum wage will remain fixed at zero.

Math is racist.

Oakland is screwed in so many ways it’s ridiculous

You get the government you vote for.

Sometimes good and hard.

I can not believe people like this still exist today. https://t.co/0c3e43puNQ

They exist, and there are far too many of them.

Sometimes it feels like California deserves what ever happening to it right now. Coz they keep electing people like this https://t.co/GJdNd0BOCj

Exactly.

Let’s just raise the minimum wage to $1,000/hour https://t.co/W1lCdsgxXz

Pretty soon money will be worthless and bread will cost $1 million.

The morons who voted for her cannot complain when this dumba** ruins what’s left of their city’s businesses. https://t.co/OKIiPsZKGg

They’ll blame corporate greed, racism, and Donald Trump when Oakland goes belly up.
