Nah, our min wage is only $5.21. Plus my employees would work for free before they let me shut down. They like me too much.

Uh, how many restaurants close in Seattle in any given year? Look, I have no doubt that this thing is gonna hurt some businesses, particularly franchises that get handed an edict on pricing from some remote corporate headquarters, but the listed restaurant closings is by no means dispositive that this is going to crush businesses. A town the size of Seattle prolly loses a slew of restaurants in the ordinary course of business during any given month anyway, so I will need to see more before finding a causal link.

I actually empathize with the business owners.
Still... There's a societal problem when people can work full time and still live in poverty and require guvmint support to survive.
The droids comment wasn't sarcasm btw

The droids comment wasn't sarcasm btw You could ask any of my employees and they'd say they wouldn't want a $15 min wage. They make more than that with what they have now. Plenty more. The risk of losing their job and also making less money doesn't excite them. Nor should it. |
