California voters have rejected Prop 32, which would have raised the state’s minimum wage from $16 to $18.
With 100% of the ballots tallied, the measure was rejected by a 0.8% margin (50.8 - 49.2), according to the California Secretary of State’s office. The total vote difference for the proposition was 234,146.
Because “back in my day” isn’t just Grandpa rambling. It’s also adults who resent their upbringing but are stupid enough to pass it on. First to their kids, and now to wage earners.
Also people can be tricked by propaganda and lies pretty easily.
