Given taxation policy, the entire population of Seattle is essentially working 24/7 for Seattle ... and therefore entitled to the minimum wage.

They had quite a Hooverville in the 1930’s. Open land is much harder to find now.

gradual? That’s not fair to these poor exploited workers at all. Hike it. Hike it now. bump it to $20, just to be fair.

Poverty and unemployment have been outlawed in Seattle.
Will the last person leaving Seattle please turn out the lights?

The delay gives businesses more time to figure how to get by with fewer employees. But well-off liberals will feel good about themselves. That’s all that matters.

I guess the conquest of Washington by California is complete.
The infection has spread, so that they now feed on each other. With the living and working envying the dead and on the dole.

Counterintuitively, now would be a great time to invest in real estate in Seattle. This law banishes everyone who isn’t worth 15/hr from the city limits. They will move out to the suburbs, and the lilly whites will move in, gentrifying the city into a white liberal enclave. Lilly whites don’t mind ridiculous costs of living, so there will be a real estate boom there.

It would be Obamaville , but homeless people ceased to exists when The Won was immaculated.

Can't wait to be able to finally get my order correct the first time. Come on minimum wage hikes!
To: zeestephen; All
Although I dont know the scope of this ordinance, remember that the states, not the feds, have the 10th Amendment-protected power to define intrastate minimum wage and overtime wage policy. (All that Constitutionally indefensible federal minimum wage amounts to is a vote-winner for corrupt federal politicians imo.)
Im glad that Seattle is experimenting with high minimum wage. Im sure that many people will be looking over Seattles shoulder to see what happens.
To: zeestephen
Wusses! They shudda made it $100.
