I have never believed that the minimum wage accomplishes anything but those who believe it works should be asking for at least $1500. an hour. Of course the true believers would say that is ridiculous but they are somehow certain that $15. is the right amount.

Seattle could get away with this only because the largest “Seattle” employers - Microsoft, Paccar (Kenworth), Boeing, etc. - are actually in the suburbs such as Redmond, Bellevue, and Renton.”

Amazon is in downtown Seattle, though, and their employees are buying condos and renting apartments in the city.

They need fast-food and other café and restaurant workers to provide for their in-city lifestyle.

Guess Bezos better buy some robots to care for his flock.
