We just witnessed businesses killed in California from the minimum wage increase. And if not killed, job losses:

Last September, Gov. Gavin Newsom signed California Assembly Bill 1287 into law, which includes a $20 per hour minimum wage for fast-food workers and a fast-food regulatory council which has the authority to raise the industry’s minimum wage annually. But between last fall and January, California fast-food restaurants cut about 9,500 jobs, representing a 1.3 percent change from September 2023.

On April 1, a Fosters Freeze location in Lemoore, California — about three hours north of Los Angeles — shut down. That happened to be the same day the new minimum wage, which is now $20 an hour rather than $4, kicked in for fast food workers. Some employees thought that the closure was an April Fool's joke.Apr 13, 2024

I mean I'd hope so.. but not government jobs right? We don't need more government agencies and more government employees. We need more private sector jobs.

Because I've never heard nor read someone use, "chit" instead of "shit" and come to find out it's an actual word (excluding chitchat) with multiple meanings.

I'm intentionally using, "chit"... being that I'm Latino and if you ever heard a boater Latino say shit, it sounds like chit.

The more you know!

So.. why isn't your neighbor in jail?

He assault your family member (pet).

Threatened to injure, possibly kill the other family member.

Got onto your property and threatened violence against you.

Chit isn't adding up.
