I think it appropriate for every fast food restuarant in California to close for 1 and 1/2 days a week, in protest.
The lost revenue to the state would be tremendous. Nothing cures assholery like hitting them in the wallet, even if you must take a hit also.
Think of it, no sales tax, reduced income tax from employees, lower corporate and company taxes, lower contributions to workemen’s compensation agencies, social security administration, ad nauseum. All of which are favorite cash cows for diversion of funds. That would sure as Hell put a crimp in the state’s plans and bankrupt it. They already spend more than they have and do business on the promise of ever increasing revenue, what effect would decreasing revenue have on them? A very major deleterious effect.
And let’s not forget all the municipal, state and federal workers who will become too cranky to abide in their own offices when they cannot eat lunch, or at least, cannot eat a lunch they prefer or can afford. I wouldn’t want to be aupervisor in one of those offices in the afternoon.
Most people on limited lunch hours would have to brown bag it in order to be back at work on time, and/or eat breakfast at home, therefore there would not be ahifting of revenue to other sources to fill the state coffers.
And if that doesn’t work, shut down and move your business to America.
