    I didn't and still don't support the City Council getting involved in setting minimum wages. But let's also take this with a grain of salt. Tom Douglas and/or his company just made a $2.4 million class action settlement related to labor violations. The author is also involved with Restaurant Workers of America, which looks suspiciously like a restaurant industry funded astroturf organization.

    So let's see a 2.4 million class Acton settlement means the attorney got 2.39 million and a check went out to the purple actually effected in the amount of .02 cents.
    It appears the attorneys requested the court approve a fee of $600,000, or 25% in other words. The internet can actually be used to gather facts. You should try it.
    Attorneys don't deal in facts. HTH
    You shouldn't have rushed. Even you almost certainly could have come up something better.
    Simple truth works for me.
    And if not truth, simple still suits you.

    Hilarious for the #ShittyLawyerWhoCan'tGetHisFactsStraight to be lecturing to anyone about the law or facts.

    Even when you agree with something you can't help yourself to not use a logical fallacy.
    Uhhh, okay. In English?
    As an *ahem* attorney, you better damn well know what a logical fallacy is.

    Or is this where you slept through first-year again?

    Now is the time to screech up scotti. Defend those minimum wage hikes that have put people and businesses out of work.

    If you can't support a family of 4 in middle class comfort while working at McDonald's they should all be burned to the ground!

    Ironically, places like walmart and mcDonalds don’t mind the minimum wage so much. They can reduce hours with technology investments and can better absorb the costs, so they do fine. It’s the small business that gets crushed, and that is OK with Walmart and McDonalds. Then people bitch about the local places closing.

    It’s almost like what constitutes a “livable” wage might vary dramatically from human to human.
