Shitstain can't read. And how is a comment on a newspaper website about Pho restaurants considered "facts"? The point, that is lost on you, is causality between minimum wage increase and businesses closing, which you are far from demonstrating.TurdBuffer said:Honda says prices aren't rising and businesses aren't failing. When confronted with facts that say otherwise, he says, "well, those businesses suck anyways."
Derek: Did you check Hondo's ID? Sure it wasn't a learner's permit?
One other thing Hondo's obviously never done: Paid payroll tax.
I do own a fast food restaurant of all things. It's a side gig and I owned it back when the minimum wage was last increased from 5.15 to 7.25. It didn't have an effect then and won't hurt us now.
People like you make me chuckle, thanks for the laff. -
Is a corn cart with the mayo jar hanging on the handlebars really a "fast food restaurant"?2001400ex said:

The numbers aren't the main issue. The main issue is paying a "living wage" to someone just for showing up and not getting fired. No difference what the job is, they should all pay a "living wage" according to the Communists masquerading as Socialists. Thing about the Proletariat, Comrades, was the implied understanding that they'd actually PRODUCE something, thereby entitling them to a share in the yield. Not in Seattle, where it's "I'm here and I'm special, so pay me $15 an hour, or else you're the asshole, Mr. Businessman. You want sweat and hustle, pay me even more." Fuck that. Fixed-income grandma needs the money more than you lazy, entitled, useless pricks.

That's ironic because in order to truly understand economics you need to study human nature. People are the main actors in economics.doogsinparadise said:
I'm more of a humanities guy quite honestly. The lived experience seems more important than hypothetical modeling.TurdBuffer said:DoogIP: Serious question. Ever taken Economics?

Did you know that in America you can live in Washington and own a business in another state, such as Montana. Weird I know.sarktastic said:yet another hondo lie.
Scrubbing toilets at McDonald's isn't ownership.
The minimum wage in Washington state has never been $7.25... ever.
But when you pay someone else's payroll taxes, let me know. Then we can talk. -

Flagged for Alaskan Amber and 6 pack.TurdBuffer said:Bill: Alaskan Amber is 9.99 a 6 pack at my local store. Last year it was 7.99. That's not 25%, but it is 20%. Literally every item at the grocery store, corner store, or restaurant has increased at least 15% over the past year.
The unusually hi-paying jobs among younger, single workers, also makes Seattle an unusual environment to measure the effects since they easily absorb the price increases without sacrificing much of their consumption.
I don't think $15 will hurt Seattle overall, but it's going to change things where, for example, a person pays 1/2 of a barrista's hourly wage by buying one coffee drink. -
I or the family have had several businesses. Just how does an increase in your payroll not affect you? You have to either make less profit or raise prices to cover it. It always affected me.2001400ex said:

Reality here.... (No BS). I do own a restaurant in Montana as a side business. It feeds two other families and I get a tax write off. (I am a 1/3 owner). I basically just got the financing package together and organizational docs and I did the financials until I got too busy. We bought it in February 2008.Sledog said:

We cater to low income people, so when minimum wage went up, our sales went up. We had several years of losses, all 100% due to poor management. We got labor in check by watching hours and managing people better. Not to mention expense control.
Our sales were about $500k a year before minimum wage went up. Now they are over $600k. Some of that was better advertising, some was from better economy. But our wages are about 30%, you can run numbers and see a minimum wage increase is only a couple percent. But if our sales grow to $650k a year, we come out ahead on the deal. Businesses are about growing revenue, if you do that, you come out ahead.
Now fuck off for having me talk like an accountant. -
You are such a Donkey. First It isn't $15 an hour in Seattle yet. Second. If you weren't such a world class donkey, you would realize the economies in Seattle vs Yakima/ Spokane or anywhere else east of the mountains are almost night and day.2001400ex said:
Oh it was going to wreck Seattle. Seattle doesn't get wrecked, but it will wreck Yakima and Spokane.Ice_Holmvik said:
Seattle is a unique market. A lot of high tech jobs and high paying sales jobs. In the short term Seattle has enough wealth to overlook the problems. Try it in Yakima or Spokane and you will see results much faster.Fire_Marshall_Bill said:The higher minimum wage in Seattle hasn't killed off businesses, raised unemployment, or raised the price of goods and services there by 25%. Keep freaking out though.
What really is going to happen? Your favorite fast food costs you another dollar? Does anyone really eat enough fast food for that to matter?
But do continue to embarrass yourself multiple times daily on this board. Your are truly a glutton for punishment.
