Why is everyone upset about this? This is the Laboratory of Democracy on display. Let NY state raise their minimum-wage to $15, hell to $50/hr for all I care and businesses can make the choice to leave. I just don’t want it happening on a national level.
Doesn’t the “California Effect” still guarantee stuff happening on a national level? Jerry Brown signed that phase-in of $15 minimum wage over six years, even though he admitted that “(e)conomically” it does “not make sense”.
