Paid Take-Care-Of-Your-Neighbor Days?

From a friend of mine who recently moved to San Francisco, comes this piece of brilliant legislation:

Employers in the City by the Bay must now give paid sick leave to all their workers - even, in some cases, when they're not sick. One provision of the law allows workers without families to call in sick to care for a friend or neighbor - all on the boss' dime.
...
A local chef says he's either going to have to raise prices or hire fewer workers:

"Sure it's kind of nice to suddenly have more sick days, but realize you end up giving something up for that, and no one ever looks at the consequences of their actions in this town, especially in politics, and especially with progressive politics," said area restaurant chef Dan Scherotter.

Gotta love those liberals.  And if you don't love them, then they'll pass a law to make you love them.
