“Bar Rescue” host and executive producer Jon Taffer warned inflationary policies put in place by Democrats are wrecking the restaurant industry.
Taffer said restaurants and retail stores will begin to shut down as Democratic states, namely California, have increased the pay rate during a high inflationary period and minimum wage increases.
“What we are living through now is a consequence of policies that have caused these inflationary impacts, these payroll impacts,” he told “Fox & Friends” host Brian Kilmeade. “So when we vote, we need to think about polices and how does that impact our individual communities as well as our nation. And these policies are gonna devastate many, many communities.”
in 1960, a family of five could have a meal (each a burger, fries and a [real!] milkshake) for under $5 total, no state tax. The same meal today is $64.66, 6% tax included. A dad, making $2 per hour, could take the family out for dinner in exchange for about 3 hours of work after income tax.
The minimum wage in the United States in 1960 was $1 per hour. Adjusted for inflation, that’s equivalent to $10.61 in 2024 dollars. A dad making $20.00 per hour now shouldn’t feed that crap to his family.
