Liberal Gave All Employees 70k Minimum Wage, Then THIS Happened! (Going Broke)
The Federalist Papers ^ | 8/1/2015 | JASON W. STEVENS

They say what goes around comes around.

In this case, ignore the basic laws of economics and human nature, and you’ll soon find yourself living in a van down by the river.

That looks to be in the very near future for one liberal CEO who insisted on making a political statement about the minimum wage, rather than looking after the best interests of his employees and company.

“Dan Price, 31, tells the New York Times that things have gotten so bad he’s been forced to rent out his house.”

Why stop there? If he truly is a liberal, he’ll rent out his car too (s/)

Nothing wrong with him wanting to pay his people above market wages. It is noble, IMHO.

But overpaying by such a huge amount that it causes your company to go out of business is bad for your employees. Better to have a job at market pay or 1.5 times market pay than to have one at 3 times market pay that disappears.

He and his brother started the biz out of a college dorm room.

Like many in the modern era, he realized the key to success is being an FOB (friend of Baraq)

“He gave raises to people who have the least skills and are the least equipped to do the job, and the ones who were taking on the most didn’t get much of a bump,”

In other words, the least valuable employees got huge raises.
