Restaurant owner exposes harsh reality of doing business in California: 'An unhealthy ecosystem' (msn.com)Los Angeles restaurant owner Mollie Engelhart is sounding the alarm over California's tornado of far-Left policies, arguing that the state's business climate is "driving" specific people "out.""These things don't fit together. And I don't know why California is driving businesses like me out. Organic farmer, chef. I employed 350 people before the pandemic, and they're driving people like me out. It doesn't make sense," she argued during an appearance on "Varney & Co." Engelhart's comments come in wake of California Governor Gavin Newsom's new minimum wage hike, which has posed an unprecedented obstacle for her, and many other small businesses. "Everybody wants their employees to be paid well, but you can't just raise [the] minimum wage and not think that it affects everything else. It's an unhealthy ecosystem. The economics in California, the pieces no longer fit together. When I open this restaurant 13 years ago, a server could live in this neighborhood, have an apartment, go on vacation, and have savings in the bank," Engelhart spotlighted earlier this week. "13 years we've been a vegan restaurant, and I believe that that was the best pathway forward for human health and for the soil and for the planet. And I realized over the years that that was not true. I became a farmer to deal with all of our food waste from the restaurants," the restaurant owner explained on Wednesday."I started to realize there is no agriculture without death. That is an illusion. And we need to support American farmers that are doing the right thing, that are really letting the animals have a better life and doing the right thing for the soil."

It was the straw the broke the camel's back, but it didn't start it. Over a decade ago employees were able to live in a relatively nice condo, afford a car, and live in a decent neighborhood. This was before the min wage increase. Now they can't afford it and driven out of neighborhoods that were once nice. This downfall began before the increase. The farmers are having a hard time keeping up with the costs and now with the min wage increase, it's almost impossible for them to survive.
Bidenomics baby!

Her innocence is charming. She is precisely who they want to drive out. They want only the billionaires able to do business, and beneath the billionaires they want serfs. They will put up with a tiny (10% of the population) technical/professional class, and that's it. Everyone else needs to be broken and barefooted. Masters and cattle - no room for anything else.

It would be a real shame if one of those "some" were so butthurt by your ownership of him that he was rage-blinded to the fact that you DID provide your own thoughts...
