A really BFD

It's hard to stress enough how big of a deal this really is--Gov. Jerry Brown of California reached a deal with his state's labor unions to raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour by 2022.

California is home to 40 million Americans and has the largest economy of any U.S. state and ranks eighth in the world.  While the outcome of such a raise in wages is unknown at this point, if it works you can bet that it will carry over to the rest of the country.

And if the rest of the country doesn't follow?  My guess is California's ability to attract the best the brightest will only grow.

Open up that Golden Gate, indeed.
