It will destroy small business, it will also destroy people’s ability on Social Security to get a few extra jobs. The problem is Democrats always think they’re helping when they’re actually hurting the exact people they intend to help. That’s what happens when you’re dumber than a dip %*$#.

If a firm cannot survive following the law, it should release its capital and labor to firms which can.

You're making things up to be outraged by.

Maybe if Social Security isn't working, we should revamp our welfare system, instead of using its disfunction to justify underpaying workers!

If we were required to pay $15 an hour then we would have to let two of them go. That’s their spending money and grocery money. I’m being serious. If you really care about people like this you will think about it. Because that’s exactly what’s going to happen. I’ve been in business for 40 years.

If they are part time and paying them 15 dollars would force you to let them go, then you are either unwilling to reduce your profits, which makes you a bad person, or making less than $240 in net profits a week (assuming you now pay them min wage for 20 hours each a week), which makes you a bad businessman.

For most retail, you can still have people shopping as long as they wear masks and obey occupancy limits. Will you make more than 240 dollars a week in net profits when lockdowns end?

As I said, if your firm can't operate abiding by labor laws (in this case minimum wage), then you should release your capital and labor to a firm which can.

Are you can argue to the cows come home syndrome but it will cripple most small businesses and they will probably close. Is that what you want is just to have Walmart and Amazon left? I thought you guys were for the little guy? You can’t be for the little guy and be pushing a $15 minimum wage.

If the "little guy" can't pay their workers a living wage, they should revamp their business model to do so.

A Series of successful businesses? That tons of people flock to the buy goods? You sound like such an ignorant city boy it’s embarrassing.
