Seattle Democrats: Oops, We Raised the Minimum Wage Too High

[Weatherman2020]

Seattle takeout orders have reached a breaking point. Amid horror stories of $122 Thai delivery and $26 to-go coffees, the Emerald City is now considering rolling back a brand new wage law that�s causing food takeout prices to skyrocket and delivery orders to tank. It's just the latest in a series of wage laws that are backfiring this year, causing chaos for customers, restaurants, and the gig workers they were meant to help.


I know. You’re as shocked as I am Democrats shot themselves in the knee again. Well, let’s put this latest news in their perspective:

WHY DO DEMOCRATS HATE THE POOR AND WANT TO ROLLBACK MINIMUM WAGES?

Seattle may roll back minimum wage for delivery drivers

Drivers are complaining about a drop in customers and an increase in service fees, which many argue companies are adding to move the cost of the law to consumers.

If I was running a eatery I'd put the up-charge for the wage increase right on the receipt with a note "Well who did you think was gonna pay for it?"

Encouraging. Maybe it will help get Semi Byrd elected and get rid of some US reps and senators like Pramila Jayapal, Maria Cantwell and Patty Murray. The democrat stranglehold on WA has to be broken.

Meh..so what some folks will have to get off their asses--and get their own Latte.
I see this as a good thing.

Yea right. The left are so far gone. They’d rather destroy the economy and nation as whole before admitting they were wrong.

Anything left decides to do is a bad idea. They simply can't think things through, but I feel that some leftists do shit knowing full well it will lead to chaos and turmoil. Here are some examples.

Gee....if only SOMEONE had been warning the Dims this would happen.

Well, would you look at that....

Who is this that posted about this over 3 years ago?

Why is a $15/hour minimum wage the magic number? Why is $16 too high and $14 too low?

I need the logic of the $15/hour minimum wage explained to me. THE CBO STATED A $15/hour minimum wage will lead to the ELIMINATION of 1.3 million jobs. https://www.cbo.gov/system/files/2019-07/CBO-55410-MinimumWage2019.pdf Can liberals explain why a $15 federal minimum wage os a food thing...

Well, at least they finally became smart enough to realize that the solution wasn't to increase wages even more. That's what most democrats think. When prices get too high for people to afford, just raise wages even more. It's like trying to put out a fire with gasoline. Can't believe they finally figured that out.

And then they scream "Food Deserts" whatever will we do. They create the problems they decry.

Minimum wage should be $500/hour.

NOW WE ARE ALL MILLIONAIRES!

They’re all about the feel-good-now policies, never considering the long term ramifications. More of a tic-tac-toe, rather than a chess, mentality.

You should pass a law making them exercise!

More of a “find your butthole with your thumb” mentality.

This is a good sign, and exactly why it's better to deal with these nonsensical laws at the state and local level. At least some of them are recognizing it was a mistake.

Nah...obesity is nature's way of culling the herd. Beer and potato chips are the instruments of Darwin~

No way. The whole point of the government is to make people live the way you think they should live! That's a "good thing", right?

You think so? Ahhh well..to each their own, I guess.
Govt.'s main role in this country, as far as I can tell..involves keeping us happy whilst we make money for our betters--perhaps you see it differently?

 

[SassyIrishLass]

Bunch of clueless feel good dopes

 

[dblack]

You think so?

No. But statist Democrats do. They live for it.

-perhaps you see it differently?

I do. The government's main role should be to protect our rights, and otherwise stay out of our business. I don't want government deciding what will make me "happy", or deciding who should make more money.
