LOL - you knew this was coming.

Especially since $15.00 is now basically the real minimum wage and the results are obvious now.

Assuming this ridiculous proposal were to come true, a future headline would read:

A Democratic socialist candidate for Congress in Washington State demands to know why a loaf of bread is now $20, a new compact car is $150,000 and electricity is $12.00 per kw hour.

What happens if the $30/hour employee only generates $5/hour in revenue?

I live a couple of miles north of Seattle, and the nearby McDonalds is already paying $18 an hour. By the way, because of Covid fears, they STILL aren’t open for indoor dining.

Now I get it—the $15 an hour worker that screwed up my a simple order for 3 tacos at Taco Bell yesterday must have only made the mistake because she’s not being paid enough.
