Federal minimum wage is $7.50 an hour. Raise it to $15.00 you double wages.When you double their salaries, you call that a small increase?So it's better to force a marginal business to fail, thus kicking EVERYONE out of a job?If you care to dispute claims in the OP, some basis other than your emotions would be in order.
Are you calling Ritu Shah Burnham a liar?
Well the increase has hardly even taken effect. It will be years before it reaches $15. There is no way that a few cents increase to minimum wage workers is causing noticeable inflation. And a few cents increase shouldn't make it so a business goes under. They were in trouble already obviously. The claims of the article are obviously false.
If this small increase is putting them under they were going under regardless.
We are discussing Seattle. It has not doubled wages. It has increased less than a dollar this year.
