That's not true at all. You can't have a price floor, have businesses create their models based on that, raise the floor, and say "well if you can't pay your workers what we say NOW then you fail"

They can fucking pay the works exactly what the worker agrees to. If no one agrees, then the business fails.

jfc some people don't know anything about anything and still spout off like they do

Don't be a hypocrite. Given how long wages haven't been raised, a moderate raise in wages shouldn't break a fucking business especially in the face of record profits.

Keep your passive aggression to yourself.

Also, LOL at that 8-bit Biceps post.

I'm not talking about businesses with record breaking profits. I'm talking about small businesses that cannot afford to pay high wages.

It'll sink them. But hey, if I'm a guy who can't get a job at 7 bucks an hour, I'm sure, just absolutely sure I'll get hired at 15.

this sounds like a nice fantasy, but it's not how things work. if businesses are having trouble getting people to want to work there, they can import foreign workers and pay them less than minimum wage. the business isn't any worse off for it.

businesses just have too much power over workers and over prospective workers.

I hate both of your responses essentially equally

Edit: Something about fish hook theory

Rog0 you know I'm right
