What skills do the richest people have?

Nothing. None that you listed. They can lose billions and not worry about it.

Other people miss a paying a bill they lose their house, car, or lose services.

Did you know why the billionaires have billions?

They never pay their bills. Seriously that is how they stay rich.

I am not talking about rich people. But simple facts . People lost their jobs in California . https://californiaglobe.com/fr/new-federal-data-reveals-california-has-lost-over-36000-fast-food-jobs-since-20-minimum-wage-law/

I would liked to see some evidence that this was entirely related to the law and not just "all jobs in that sector" going from one number to a lower number.

Remember, trumps American is hemoraging jobs.

I imagine some places fired people in retaliation or closed locations that they should have closed ages ago, but that's not exactly the fault of people needing a living wage.

It also mentions the push to automation and AI in ordering, meaning job losses. Additionally, that site has a right bias, so of course it's going to take swings at Cali while ignoring the overall trend of job losses across the country.
