The biggest problem with people who think raising min wage to $15 is that they’re expecting what should be temporary jobs, bottom of the barrel, to be mortgage paying, life building jobs. Jobs like McDonald’s shouldn’t be able to pay a mortgage. That’s not their business model. It takes people with no skills and teaches them the basics, allowing upward movement to other better paying positions.
All a $15 min wage will do is increase costs across the board. That $8 value meal will now be $14(estimate). Businesses don’t have the overhead to just eat the increase, their prices have to go up to cover the wage increase. These people are stupid.
