I'm in a family business, if we go up to $15 an hour, we're looking at doling out another grand a week, roughly, which we frankly can't afford. That means either people get fired or we sell. I don't like either of those options. Obligatory: Damn the Man

Your fine for now. Their only pushing for federal workers
Wrong (CNN)Seeking to fulfill a long-standing Democratic ambition, a coalition of lawmakers introduced a bill on Tuesday that would raise the national minimum wage to $15 an hour.

The measure, which is also included in President Joe Biden's $1.9 trillion relief package, calls for gradually increasing the hourly wage in increments until it hits $15 in 2025. After that, it would be indexed to median wage growth -- a move meant to guarantee wages keep up with inflation without needing new legislation.
Yep ain't gonna happen. They don't have reps n can't use simple majority. Why their only pushing for federal.. Florida's a different story
This is getting closer to the bottom of this story. So nothing is finalized, then? There's still an opportunity to remove the provision?
