liberals on minimum wage: i have literally never heard of currency devaluation or buying power dollars are magical numbers with an absolute and static value $15 an hour!!!!!!!!!

lol that $15 min wage is currently failing and crippling the city i live in. nobody's hiring, small businesses being pushed out for megacorps everywhere. cost of living rapidly inflating to the point where we're ~3 years from passing up NYC for that #1 slot.

I am genuenly curious to see how this plays out, I would prefer if WA just sucked it up and kept it going for a good 3-5 years at least, to evaluate the long term effects and not just the imidiate reactionary ones.

I wouldn't be surprised if it worked out well for the city and the workers, or if it went bad for em... at least its actually trying something instead of theorycrafting it for 60 years and doing nothing.

I mean, really its worth mentioning the aeronautical industry is based out of very obscure places, where cost of living is almost nothing. Why would they keep a building there if they became to costly... but that said, what were they manufacturing there? Not sure how many min wage jobs boeing has, or what cities you mean.
