I think Hemi's falling in love with you too.
Pretty soon you'll command almost as much of his attention as Vrai.

Actually, I not only understand, but agree with you.
One of the very first things I learned in Econ 101 (Macro) is that "Government acts, people react."
The only difficulty I have is that there's a reason for the rise of unions in this country. Companies are only going to do what they are mandated to do, and often, not even then.

That's the one just off I-5 and Grand Ave in PB, right?
I actually prefer Pollo Maria in Carlsbad, kind of behind the Jack-in-the-Box off Elm, or whatever they're calling it. Carlsbad Village Drive, I think. It's about the same distance off I-5 as Rubio's in PB. Good, good, good Mexican-style chicken (pollo, for those who don't know).
Or the G-Spot (Grand Avenue Bar & Grill), also in C'bad, just a few blocks from Pollo Maria. Taco Tuesday, in season, baby! Instead of turning left at the Jack (that's Harding), turn right (coming from I-5). Go a block north, turn left a block and a half, and it's on the right. Can't miss it.
I wish California wasn't so damn broken; I'd move back there in a minute. But, alas and alack....

There's a bunch of them. There was one in...I want to say Camarillo, when we lived up there, but it doesn't appear on their website's location finder.

The cost of labor has and will always be the biggest expense to running any business, large or small. That's just a fact that you learn in any intro Econ class.
Granted, the economy going to sh*t like it did under Carter has exacerbated everything under this regime. But, they still find a way to blame Trump and the Republican'ts, even as those chuckleheads are giving the Demonrats knobbers every time we turn around.

I like you. Unlike the vast majority here, you read to understand — not to argue.Actually, I not only understand, but agree with you.

This is a key takeaway. And to expand, the price of labor is the one thing that is still worth “chasing” to increase share value/profiability It’s a major catalyst in the desire to offshore labor/manufacturing. The results of which are neither objectively bad nor good but rather rational actors acting rationally.

But then the unions became what they were supposed to be fighting against.
You'd think he'd feel bad that little kids are living in ghettos and eating out of trash cans, and he bought himself a $500 million house. And that's just one of his 10+ luxury homes, which doesn't include his numerous luxury cars and $300 million yacht.
Not that there will ever be a shortage of poor people, but the dramatic wealth inequality in this country sometimes makes me sad. The liberals have a point when they rail about this, but their solution is to....make rich people richer and poor people poorer, and I have a hard time wrapping my head around that.
I just want people to be better. To do what they say they're going to do and not be revered for something when in fact they're the exact opposite. Like Obama, of all people, saying that at some point you've made enough money. That chaps my ass every time I think of it. Liberals were supposed to be against all this and instead they upped the ante.
I'm having a childish moment and reverting back to my wide-eyed naive 25 year old self. I'll be back to cynical by morning.
Well, the problem with that is there will never be a "living wage" among the lower tier workers because the bar keeps getting raised. Pay them $20/hour, then raise the price of everything so they're poorer than when they started.
