They really thought that it would create a workers paradise just like the communist promise but never deliver.

Liberals don’t think—They feel.

This nonsense has nothing to do with helping low income folks. It is all about sticking it to the man. They are interested in hitting productive, prosperous, successful business people. It is not about love for the needy but hatred for the well off.
Unhappy people have a big problem with those who seem to be doing well. Any arguments that are based on the harm this stuff does will fall on deaf ears. Destruction is the point not an unintended consequence.

Well, we’re waiting for all of those throngs of illegal aliens moving up here for their $15/hrs. pay and free health care. Meanwhile there are more homeless people on street corners and freeway on and off ramps, most are Mexican and they demand aggressively for $15 handout. We go out a lot less. But if you work for Microsoft or Amazon you are probably oblivious of it.

These frauds are hilarious and the liberals are dumb as rocks. The 15 dollars does not even go into effect until 2024....Can you believe that crap and these liberal nuts are applauding it. How stupid are they??????

Here’s what’s happened so far:

Managers have taken more responsibilities on themselves, instead of hiring more workers.
Businesses have laid off workers, or eliminated their plans to hire more.
Area parking now comes with an added “living-wage surcharge.”
Hotels have cut employee benefits, free food, and overtime.
And that’s not all!

Business owners are seeing more applications, because of course - people want $15 an hour, but they’re not hiring more. In fact, the opposite is happening, because only higher-qualified folks are being hired for the fewer jobs that are being offered at a higher hourly rate. GO FIGURE.

This is my shocked face...

According to this, that whole minimum wage hike that liberals have been losing their minds over and screaming for - and they finally got it out in Seattle - well, we’re seeing how that’s working out for them.

The Seattle suburb of SeaTac got what they wished for - the minimum wage was raised to $15 - and months later, they’re seeing the ramifications.

We shouldn’t be so quick to think that the unintended consequences are in fact unintended. Perhaps Seattle and SeaTac want to drive the poor and lower skilled out of their cities.

Time to send a few kulaks off for public floggings in Safeco Field I guess.
