The OP asked you what the source of the funding for these artificial increases in pay.And if we bumped it this time to $8.50/hr, the sky wouldn't fall either. That's not what you want, though, and what you want would be catastrophic. Some 62% of the workers in this country make less than $20/hr. Raise the MW to $15/hr and every one of them would either get a big raise or demand one when all of a sudden they were making just a little over MW. Where's that money going to come from?And you're okay with higher prices on everything, and the poor unable to afford things they now can?Oh you'll pay. You'd be much better off keeping them employed and paying em a livable wage. We'll all benefit in the end.
Min wage has increased many times. Show that has happened. Link?
There has never been any noticeable negative impact on the economy when the Minimum Wage has been raised. Greedy white Republican dude always cries 'Sky is Falling', but as usual, he's lying.
McDonalds Workers aren't asking anything of Government. Their fight is with their Employer. It has nothing to do with the Minimum Wage. You have no dog in the fight. It's between them and their Employer.
