California's new wage law, championed by Governor Gavin Newsom, has led to both wage increases and job losses in the fast-food industry. Businesses like Starbucks, Chipotle, and McDonald's are raising prices to cover the higher wages. The law has sparked debates between restaurant owners warning of job losses and higher prices, and labor advocates highlighting the benefits of increased wages.

Critics argue that the minimum wage hike will drive income inequality and harm worker sovereignty.
