Most fast food workers in California would get a $20 minimum wage next year — a nearly $5 per hour raise — under a deal announced Monday between labor unions and the industry that will avoid a costly referendum on the November 2024 ballot.
There are countries in Europe with cheaper rent than the US with 2-3x the minimum wage amount. The two are barely even related in the grand scheme of things.

Bullshit. Are you talking about 2-3x the FEDERAL minimum wage, or California’s STATE minimum wage?
Please point to the European countries that have a minimum wage of $31/hour, which is twice the California state minimum wage. That’s literally what engineers get paid, lol.
If you’re talking FEDERAL minimum wage, then I’d point out that rent prices in California are some of the highest in the country. It’s because people in California have more money to spend, so everything they buy is more expensive. It’s a simple concept I’ve been saying since the beginning.
Man. The more replies I see, the clearer it becomes that the vast majority of people in this comment chain have no clue what they’re talking about. They’re just twisting their brains in knots to find ways to agree with the crowd because they can’t think for themselves.
I said US, and Europe in reference to minimum wage. Why the fuck would you think I was possibly talking about the California minimum wage after mentioning a nation and a continent?
Because we’re talking about California’s minimum wage, and there aren’t European nations that have 2-3x the US federal minimum wage with substantially lower rent than poor states in the US.
Also, I don’t hold you above the sly rhetoric of comparing California’s rent to European nation’s while only considering the FEDERAL minimum wage. It goes hand-in-hand with the mental gymnastics ya’ll are twisting yourself in to agree with the crowd.
