Ever look at a Red (Republican)/ Blue (Democrat) voting map from last year. The Blue Democrats from the big cities gave us this horribly corrupting government.
Maybe Caliph Baraq could enforce the big min wage with an Exec Order?
Aren’t airports mostly funded with federal dollars?
Do it “for the chillern”
Low information voters (’fools’) serve up a bad and evil America.
Oh, those unintended consequences.
I think in addition to low information should be gullible.
We’re in the era of the dictatorship of the proletariat.
(Don’t need no stinking laws.)
IMHO
So they vote for representatives who do not read the bills they vote on...or the constitution.
I expected this to be a story about job flight from the jurisdiction that passed the ridiculous law, but the consequences were even better than I imagined.
The most fun thing to watch will be the collapse of Seatac’s economy. Eventually followed by the city being turned into one large open park.
To cover the legally binding $ 15.00 an hour minimum wage those affected businesses inside Seatac’s city limits will have to raise their prices and/or reduce their work force.
Shortly, you will see businesses open for business on one side of the city’s boundaries and closed on the other.
Then, you will see the costs of living inside Seatac go up as the city government has to expand city licensing fees and raise property taxes.
Finally, you will see people moving out to places where they can afford to live.
Then, to cut the cost of governing, the city will declare most homes abandoned and then bulldoze them down to the bear earth.
Think this will not happen? Can you say Detroit?
Like it or not, the economic reality of this vote has the high probability of turning Seatac into a mini-Detroit. The only question is will the proponents of this bill leave before or after that happens.
“Until Americans care enough to start reading the fine print again, conditions aren’t likely to get much better.”
Yeah. Good luck with that. Due to 50+ years of ‘Why Johnny Can’t Read’ thanks to the Dems OWNING the Publik Skrool System, we are doomed.
The picture has some delicious irony. The big green hand of “gimmedat” is outstretched to collect the goodies.
They should have protested for $200 and hour. Why should hard working idiots do without an RV’s and swimming pools...
Maybe a thousand an hour would be better...
$15/hour minimum wage?
I will vote “Yes.”
Two reasons.
First, it will totally defeat the economic purpose of mass immigration - which is lower wages.
Second, it means home grown Americans will vigorously compete against immigrants for low skill jobs.
