My fatty won't fit in your holster, sorry.
Businesses will adapt and compete.
I'm surprised you can fit that beach ball gut of yours in a pair of pants you old bigot. LOLz
How do people on fixed incomes adapt as lonewolf pointed out?
Also how do liberal countries in Europe have no minimum wage yet low unemployment....and high wages.
The government doesn't have to regulate everything you know.
Better alternatives.
Do you think that was not already coming?
Anyways, countries like Sweden, Denmark, Iceland, Norway and Switzerland do not have government mandated minimum wages and have low unemployment.
I wonder why?
Unless it is $0.00, there should be no minimum wage.
Actually, they do in effect have a minimum wage through a mixture of union and other agreements. When looking at an exchange rate in US dollars, most of them are sitting at around $18-$22/hr USD. However, if you look at some OECD charts and click the hourly tab, when you apply Purchasing Power Parity those "minimum wages" are more like $10-$11 USD. Applying PPP to the Canadian average for minimum wage we sit at $8.10/hr USD.How do people on fixed incomes adapt as lonewolf pointed out?

It will be interesting to know how the increase in minimum wage affect those who are on a salary. Bet no adjustments will be made for that 'cuz potentially, employers could pay a starting salary for an entry-level position that would be less than the minimum wage and not suffer any consequences. There are those who I work with that make in the neighbourhood of $28 - $30,000/yr. Based on a 37 1/2 hour work week at $15/hr comes to $29,250. Will employers be obliged to adjust those salaries? I'm betting no.
Just askin'
