| California Pizza Hut operators laying off all delivery drivers. | |
| But people will still vote for the Democrats in the state of California. | |
| The amount of damage done by the Democratic ruling party, which can do anything it wants. | |
| It has a super majority in the California legislature. | |
| It is irrelevant. | |
| The brainwash has worked. | |
| Republicans are bad. | |
| No matter how much bad Democrats do, they're good. | |
| Two large Pizza Hut operators in California are laying off all their delivery drivers ahead of a new state law. | |
| This was right before New Year's. | |
| Though the new law came into effect last week. | |
| Two large Pizza Hut operators in California are laying off all their delivery drivers Ahead of a new state law that raises the minimum wage for fast food workers to $20 an hour. | |
| Business Insider reports. | |
| This is from station KTLA in Los Angeles. | |
| The layoffs impact hundreds of Pizza Hut locations across the state, including Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, Ventura, and San Bernardino counties, and Sacramento, involve more than 1,200 in-house delivery drivers. | |
| Yesterday I did an open forum with PragerForce members. | |
| PragerForce is the... | |
| Part of PragerU that involves young people, generally high school through about the age of 25. And they were from all over the world, and I could see them on Zoom. | |
| It was a beautiful hour that I spent with them. | |
| So one of the questions was, have you ever changed your mind on an issue? | |
| It's a very good question. | |
| I gave two examples. | |
| I could give more. | |
| One was that I came to be opposed to big government. | |
| I thought of myself as a liberal. | |
| I was always anti-left. | |
| Always. | |
| Because the left didn't hate evil and that was enough for me. | |
| They were not anti-communist. | |
| And the other one I said was the minimum wage. | |
| I was for a minimum wage, and then I realized how much harm it did. | |
| And here is a perfect example. | |
| Because the profit margins for Pizza Hut are not great. | |
| And at $20 an hour, the only solution would be to raise the price of the pizza. | |
| And that would lower the number of people ordering pizza. | |
| The second Pizza Hut franchisee, Southern California Pizza Company, is laying off 841 drivers. | |
| My heart breaks for these people. | |
| I wonder what party these people voted for in the last election. | |
| I wonder if they even know why they're being fired. | |
| My heart does break for these people. | |
| See, what you do when you raise the minimum wage is something else. | |
| Not only do you put people out of work, but you put businesses out of business, small businesses especially. | |
| And you lower the ability of people, you reduce the ability of people to start working in their lives. | |
| They don't have the opportunity to start developing work muscles because they're overpriced. | |
| Generally, the market pays. | |
| What you're worth. |
