Any company that can't pay a living wage needs to go out of business and make room for someone that can run a better business.

1048,I have customers in Seattle, been dealing with them since 1982,I make about 6 trips a year to see them. I have saw what happens when this kind stuff happens. Like I told you before,you are a lier, all you know is what the f-n news media tells you. Just like the bar an crack **** you tried to claim you knew about. Get off your *** an go see for yourself. You might be surprised

I don't care. Neither do the people In Georgia who voted Democrat in the senate race because Biden promised them 2000 dollars. Essentially he bought their votes.

He also promised 2000 dollar checks. Just one more broken promise from our fossil of a leader and no he didn't promise a 1400 check to go with the 600 dollar check. He promised 2000 dollar checks.

Do your research---look what happened with in 6 months of Seattle's $15 mandatory pay. 1000s lost thier jobs, income dropped,homeless rate increased. As a business owner, I can tell you what looks good on paper is not always the right answer

Curious... are you saying that it's better for companies to pay less than a living wage, then the government to subsidize the remainder? Because that's what's happening now.
But wouldn't that be... what's the word? Oh yeah... socialism?

That entire video is BS. At most the US lost 1,000 jobs. Those other 10,000 jobs never existed in the first place. The oil flowing in that pipeline wae never going to be used by the US. It was going to be piped to the gulf and then shipped to other countries. The oil and the pipe line are owned by a Canadian company. Very little money or jobs would go to the US. I don't even think it is American workers who are building it in the first place.

Let's look at a mom and pop restaurant. Most restaurants have to run labor at a certain percentage of sales to stay in business. Usually around 20% or less. So if you go order a combo. The Combo cost $7. In a small mom and pop place, not a big corporate franchise, their food cost will be around 50%. So out of that $7 you have $1.40 in labor(that includes all taxes and government fees for the honor of having an employee) You have around $3.50 in food cost. You then have fixed bills, power, water, rent and such. Your looking at 15% or another $1.05 of sales for that. So if everything goes perfect and they have enough business to average these numbers then they will make around $1 on that combo. Of course they will have to pay taxes on that $1.00. So if their labor percentage gets doubled what do you think will happen? One of three things. They will cut their employees by half, leaving one person to do two jobs, or they will raise the price of that combo to cover the extra wages. They could do a mixture and raise prices with less cuts in employees. Either way everyone will pay more or be unemployed negating any raise in pay. But people that don't own a business, or have a clue how businesses struggle, want to run their mouth about how businesses could easily pay $15 an hour. It's laughable. Then you have a government official who doesn't understand that a business can't spend more than they bring in like the Federal government does.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., on Friday seemed to reference using reconciliation to pass a $15 minimum wage."If the Republicans want to drag their feet while working families struggle, the Democratic majority should use every legislative tool available to pass it," she tweeted

His campaign promise was to raise Minimum wage to 15.00 dollars an hour but what he did was he raised Minimum wage to 15.00 dollars for FEDERAL employees not the Factory worker
