Proponents of the minimum wage often cite it as a tool to uplift people from poverty. While most of these people have good intentions, their economic ignorance crushes economies in some places.
Influenced by the idiotic idea that the state can lift people out of economic turmoil, many states and cities are enacting laws that increase the minimum wage for their area. Seattle is one of these places.
Supporters of the new minimum wage expected it to give the support needed for the poor to lift themselves out of poverty and no longer use the state’s services helping them.
What actually happened will shock you.

Where did you get that bs you posted?? from 10 years ago
Here’s the problem with raising minimum wage; when it goes up, everything else goes up in price. It has to. Companies have to now charge more for their product in order to pay their employees ludicrous wages. That, in turn, only balances everything back out, so it’s like nothing changes. That’s why it doesn’t work. It’s simple math really. Companies have to make a profit in order to stay afloat. If people want to be paid more, earn it. Get a better job, get a degree or something. Getting a free ride, because you like everything is unfair and everything should be handed to you, is not the way it works.
So, no one there could predict this happening?

Lol the more I thought about the stupidity of people.. So, you think the big bosses don’t do anything? How about you run a small business…schedule, payroll, make certain they all show up for work, cover open shifts, phone calls 24/7 eating out of hotel dining areas, sleeping away from home most nights, quarterly reports, taxes, the list goes on… Yea, that big guy up there didn’t earn his way… Shut up and go away… Merit is earned stupid
There’s a reason that you’re just an hourly worker dummy
