You’re not bothering to try to understand my point.
When there’s a significant increase to minimum wage, price of essentials rises in kind.
You’re missing the role of “supply and demand”, and like every progressive who tries to ignore it you’re going to find out the hard way that the supposed “5% increase in production costs” will work out much higher. We’re not talking an exclusively isolated case, we’re talking about a broad-based increase in minwage - and the corresponding consequences impacting all other pricing.

Yes. Every item McDonalds buys will also increase in price.
