And keeps digging. From Rick Moran writing at PJ Media:
Cuomo Sentences Small Businesses to Death with Minimum Wage Hike
Despite an unemployment rate of ten percent and about one-third of small businesses already shuttered as a result of his coronavirus lockdowns, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo is apparently unsatisfied in his efforts in the state. So he’s decided to go ahead with a planned minimum wage hike.
That’s OK. All business people are rich, aren’t they?
Reason:
The New York Department of Labor announced Wednesday that it will move forward with plans to hike the state’s minimum wage on December 31. Under the state’s phased-in minimum wage increase that started in 2016, businesses in New York City are already required to pay workers a minimum of $15 per hour. On December 31, the minimum wage in Long Island and Westchester County will increase by $1 to $14 per hour, and the minimum wage across the rest of the state will jump from $11.80 to $12.50 per hour.
Cuomo’s Labor Department considered canceling or postponing the increase — especially after the governor reimposed many lockdown orders and promised more in the future. After all, “minimum wage” is sort of irrelevant when no one is getting paid any wages at all.
But the fight for social justice and economic equality must go on — even if it kills off every business in the state.
What a clueless fucktard. He is prancing about on the stage but only representing 1% of his constituency. His style of leadership is like playing chess with a pigeon.
