UC Berkeley forced to cut 500 jobs after $15 minimum wage hike. The left is obstinately, adamantly, consistently, and happily ignorant; and always surprised by the negative consequences of their own actions.

  • The $15.00 per hour living wage is just the opposite. Now the left and the special snowflakes are finding out what happens when the cost of labor exceeds the ability to make a profit. Where are all the protesters at UC Berkeley now? Their university is attempting to make a profit and not lose money. So the last hired are the first fired. Where is charlatan and jackass?

  • HAHAHAHA...I wonder what those losing their jobs think about this living wage nonsense? Maybe they can get a job flipping burgers at a fast food joint? Oh, wait! Most of those places are closing or cutting staff too!

    • No, they'll be sitting home, collecting their "living wage" from those of us who still pay taxes.

  • Don't worry, the Left will be quick to point that 500 is a ridiculously small percentage of the entire UC staff and that hey, if you want an omelet you have to break a few eggs.

  • Two things: ! - HA 2 - HA. Okay, three - are these budget cuts going to cut into safe space funding? If so, stock up on earplugs.

  • The peoples republic of Berzerkely is like a rudderless ship in the sea, floundering around till it hits the rocks..It it were to fall into the ocean during the next big earthquake, I don't think, Oakland or San Francisco would be missed much after the trash sailed out to sea with the current..Hopefully it makes its way to Japan....
