> Sure. Raise the minimum wage to $15. Then watch the jobs disappear.
And the price of everything rise dramatically. I demand that the Muslim traitor Rep Ellison shut his piehole and stop grandstanding for votes...or cash under the table for the unions whichever one it is this time
A friend runs a few [fill in national chain] stores for his parents. Some years ago the company that owns one of the malls he was in decided to significantly up his rent once his lease expired because they knew the business was doing well and thought they’d play a game where they left just enough on the table for them to think it was worthwhile to stay. They thought wrong. 2-3 years later, after many months of the space being empty, the company approached my friend’s parents with a reasonable deal.
Once the min. wage increases and a bunch of people lose their jobs, do you think they’ll go back and lower it to compel such businesses to hire? Not a chance. Plus, more demands are going to be made on the people who are able to keep such jobs. The planned collapse is in sight and things are going to get very ugly.
