How $15 Minimum Wage Affects Seattle Employer



Moonbattery-addled Seattle was a pioneer in imposing the $15 minimum wage that has been a rallying cry for leftists like Bernie Sanders. Subway demonstrates how that has worked out for people at the bottom rung of the ladder:

Boost minimum wage, boost prices and unemployment. The only sensible explanation for their enthusiasm for minimum wage hikes is that Democrats are pursuing Nikolay Chernyshevsky’s “the worse, the better” strategy of paving the road to power with misery. There is no question that $15 minimum wage has made things worse for Seattle’s low-wage workers.

What a tangled web Big Government weaves when it ham-fistedly meddles in private economic matters. Seattle employees who have not been replaced by robot waiters have found themselves pleading for reduced hours so that the higher minimum wage doesn’t cost them subsidized housing. This results in less work, resulting in turn in less wealth for Big Government to redistribute.

Libs aren't very good at math. They're even worse at economics.

When are people gonna get a clue that driving the minimum wage up just causes unemployment and fuels inflation so instead of gaining they actually lose. DUH!
The only way to get ahead is to get off of your dead ass and work at it. There are no free lunches and you'll starve to death looking for one.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was bitching about how much a croissant cost at one of New York's airport (for it was almost $7) and that..

“Croissants at LaGuardia are going for SEVEN DOLLARS A PIECE,” the Democrat tweeted from the New York airport.

“Yet some people think getting a whole hour of personal, dedicated human labor for $15 is too expensive??” she continued."
