This is the hundred minimum wage hike. We need a new reason for not doing it. There has to be a better reason then losing jobs. I remember in the 90’s when small businesses were begging for workers and they still raised the minimum wage then. What is another reason that people can get behind then losing jobs? So far, McDonald’s is still here even after 100’s of minimum wage increases. We need a new strategy.
I’m guessing it’s because the inflation that comes with it really hasn’t been a problem so far. You will see a tremendous increase in prices if this one is passed. This is a 30% increase in the minimum wage. So, now your meal that you normally pay $10 for is now going to cost $13 to cover the costs...or someone loses a job to make up for the difference.
The get more money ... they believe they are richer. They just don't have the mental capacity to understand that if they can't actually buy more with the extra money (because of inflation) that they are not actually earning more money.
That concept is just too hard for most to grasp.
