Shitstain, serious question. Ever looked at reality with the effects of minimum wage? There's a long history of minimum wage hikes in the US to glean information from. Might even have been taught in an economics class.

So that's a definite and resounding "NO" for Hondo. Doogy?

Corporate profits are setting records, yet credulous idiots like spooge and turdbuffer don't think the market will bear a $15/hr wage. This when the median wage in Seattle is something like $60k or more and a mid-century rambler that needs a lot of work will fetch $650,000 with multiple offers.

Doogy: You've got some legitimate gripes. Housing is fucked because city planners are sucking dick for all those hi paying jobs and the pet-project-funding taxes they bring with them. But it crunches the housing market causing rents and prices to skyrocket. $15 per hour will only temporarily dent that problem, not fix it.

You're essentially robbing Peter to pay Paul, and not scratching "corporate profits" or the infamous 1%. Neither gives a shit, unless or until the aggregate costs climb too high, at which point they'll blackmail the City, County and State, as Boeing has taught the Googles, Amazons, and the Microsofts to do, following suit from the NFL and MLB before, and which, if not capitulated to with tax exemptions, will close up shop and move elsewhere. No, you're not touching them. You're hitting the retiree buying a gallon of milk, the family going out to dinner, and yourself. One big circle.
