LOS ANGELES, California (WNB) - California Governor Jerry Brown signed legislation on Monday that raises the statewide minimum wage to $15-per-hour, the highest in the country. "Economically, this move makes absolutely no sense," said Brown, according to the Sacramento Bee. "But I guess to those who voted for me it somehow does, so I'm signing it. The state's going down the crapper anyway."
In possibly related news, one of the world's largest robotics firms announced Monday afternoon that they intend to build a massive manufacturing and distribution plant in California. China's Jhangtin Automated Technologies Co. is the world's largest producer of automated food preparation and service bots with annual sales of over $10.3 billion. The company said they plan to import 300,000 units into the state until the plant goes online in early 2018.
