To the editor: I believe it’s necessary to know that a long time in the past, there have been far fewer fast-food eating places than there are actually. These are locations that sometimes serve comparatively unhealthy meals and parts that attraction to most of the people, and in so doing are contributing to our weight problems and diabetes issues. (“Proposition 32 was simply rejected. In blue California, why did the minimum-wage increase fail?” Nov. 19)
Now, there are an abundance of those locations that serve “what the general public desires.” Low wages helped drive this development — and created a workforce to produce the trade’s labor wants.
So perhaps it’s a superb factor that larger minimal wages will damage the fast-food trade. If extra of those eating places are pushed out of enterprise, folks might be compelled to buy and put together their very own extra healthful options.

To the editor: Everybody desires limits on minimal wage will increase, as California voters confirmed by rejecting Proposition 32. So, how are we staff purported to pay ever-higher housing prices?
Rents have been going up even right here within the deep South since 2017, after I left my native California for work and decrease housing costs.
