    The population always pays. Why?

    Build a guillotine, leave it outside of City Hall.

    See if they can find the money then.

    Health care workers in California were supposed to get a raise on July 1, part of a plan to gradually increase their pay to $25 per hour over the next decade. Now, if approved by the state Legislature next week, they could get that raise on Oct. 15 — but only if California’s revenues between July and September are at least 3% higher than what state officials have estimated.

    If that doesn’t happen, the raise won’t start until Jan. 1 at the latest.

      It sucks, but honestly we have to pick our battles and I don’t think a three-to-six month delay is really worth fighting to the death over

        When they got you by the balls, do you like them to twist them too?

        Standing up for worker rights is a continuous process.
