LOL...sure the markets will love lawsuits against big oil, pharmaceutical companies, and big business in general. Always good for 401Ks, and stocks in general.

Especially love the rise in minimum wage. That always helps the bottom line...........NOT NOT NOT NOT NOT

How many reporters or "news" anchors ever tell the truth about the raises in UNION contracts whenever the minimum wage goes up even a penny???

Any raise in minimum wage is NOT good for the economy.
I have seen the results in Kalifornia when a minimum wage was required, and the first thing the mom & pop businesses do is figure out how they can lay off at least one person or drop a number of employees back to minimum hours instead of paying them for 40 hours a week. Especially when they work at a place that has some business hours which are busier than others. I have even seen split shifts in places like coffee shops and cleaning establishments. The busiest hours at the cleaners is early morning and after work. Not always a reason for a 40 hours person.
