How come Newsom place got to pay a smaller amount but this place closes because they couldn't afford

California minimum wage shocks fast food workers as restaurant closes: 'Only the beginning,' ex-manager warns (msn.com)
When making their way to work Monday morning, Navarro and her team learned upon arrival that the restaurant owner had made the decision to close its doors for good. The owner, Loren Wright, told local Fox affiliate KMPH that this was the "last thing" they wanted to do, but knew by Friday night the business likely wouldn’t be able to absorb the wage hike and didn’t "want to ruin their Easter Sunday."

 

We lost our local Macdonald's when the 15.00 per hour minimum wage hit.

It's going to mean more money and more work for some people in the restaurants
that survive, but fewer and busier restaurants.

That's Neoliberalism.

I'm against both Neoliberalism and Neoconservatives, strictly speaking, the neocons,
and that confuses people so they just say I'm Russian, because that seems easier
for their tiny minds to handle.
