More Seattle restaurants close doors as $15 minimum wage approaches
- Thread starter B00Mer
- Start date
Opponents said this would happen and it is indeed happening.
Tough to swallow for some I know, but it is what it is.
It is? How many? Compared to what? How many closed in March of 2014, 2013..?
Ultimately count how many restaurants there are now and count them again in one year. Then start making claims about closures.
wow, restaurants close and new ones open all the time.
if restaurants can't make a profit and give their employees a fair wage they probably weren't making that much of a profit to begin with. they shouldn't exist anyways.
Really?
Ok.... hold on... I'll have a power point presentation ready at midnight. Will you wait up?
To save you time, like the restaurant association did, just write a negative story and claim it as some immeasurable fact. Faster that way.Really?

Who the fukk could live on 20 grand?
I made twice that 25 years ago and affording a normal 3 bedroom house was difficult even with my wife making a solid wage with the Ontario government.
Now I make about $15/hour thanks to people shopping at Walmart, figuratively speaking. People have decided they need really garbage products for less or any price ending in 0.88
When I was a young man I called anyone who bought a rice burner (Japanese car) a traitor. I felt they would ruin our economy and send our jobs overseas. Well what do you know. All you cheap a$$ traitors have made my fears a reality.
I can't wait for all you retired, out of touch conservatives to fukk my retirement up completely.
beans and tators son,,,,,beans and tators. Get that jiffy cornbread two for a dollar.

Obviously you fu cked something up.Oh... never mind......I know....sorry....it's someone elses fault.
Obviously this man knows how to squeeze the nickel until the buffalo poops. And I salute him for it a true economic genius no question about it.
Not much good at economics are you? Raising the price of a product cuts market share. Sure the remaining few employees might make more money but the rest will be jobless.
You just figure that out now?
serryah probably doesn't realize it but she's just about calling for the abolition of capitalism.
Raise the price of those greasy burgers to twenty bucks a sammich I say. Personally I wouldn't give a bucks for one of those nasty things. But,,,I would however, hang a front door for a decent sammich from smashburger or one of those joints. Let's get back to the ole barter system and all this arguing won't be necessary.
Not far from it. Fortunately for her in our socialist system the government will provide for ll those that don't work.
Interesting thing about fortune 500 companies is that they create a lot of opportunity for well run small businesses. They tend to contract out lots of work.
I live with my choices and pay for my mistakes.
I wish you'd let me know just what I've fukked up.
I guess not living where you and Boomer do, where $1700 a month is a living wage is my biggest mistake. Hope all is well in your Utopia.
this is a bad argument against socialism used by people who don't know what socialism is
