This one is a special kind of stupid...

“...As the city of Seattle, Washington, hiked minimum wages to $20.76 per hour on New Year’s Day, some businesses had to close their doors, including one restaurant whose owner somehow still supports the new law...”

(snip) “...Luckenbach likewise made clear to KCPQ that she believes employees should be paid more, but said she could not afford that increased level of pay.

“Especially after the election, I think the hardest thing for me to close has been taking away a safe place for people,” she repeated to the outlet.

Perhaps Luckenbach should have been less concerned about the supposed harm that would come from the nation’s capital, presumably because President-elect Donald Trump and the Republicans took power, and more concerned about the harm coming from her own city.

Donald Trump was not the one who put her employees out of work. The leftist lawmakers in Seattle, who appear to agree with her politics, were the ones who put her employees out of work.

That is far too often the case with progressive policies...”
