Hard to rake in more tax dollars when you force businesses to close or they make less profit.
That is the problem with the Fascistic Liberal ideology; they make policies intended to punish those who create jobs which leads to less revenue and more heartache for the very people they claim to champion.

Bottom line...…...racists white men never wanted to raise wages for Black workers...…..they have made their billions off of slave labor and they like to keep it like that.
They have conned the American people into thinking MW should be kept low for what ever shitty lie they can think of.
It's called OPPRESSION! The white mans way to keep control.
Dude I lived there for several years during the years when the carpetbaggers moved in and tried to turn the town into a place for the rich and famous. I am speaking from experience.
Eating out in restaurants became unpleasant, because every restaurant in town did not have enough waitstaff anywhere you went in town. Why? Because they couldn't afford more employees because the workers demanded even more money- as restaurant employees couldn't any longer afford to live there- and had to commute from somewhere else.
In other words, the Elitists that ran the town didn't appreciate people who make low wages (People like you), had no respect for them, didn't want them even in their town, and ran them out of town, ended up putting a burden on restaurants and other service oriented businesses, to even be able to survive there either.
It has changed over the last few years as Santa Fe has learned it's lesson, and has since built affordable apartments again there for low wage earners to be able to live and work there.

No, you are bloviating anecdotal baloney with nothing to substantiate other than, "because you say so."
More anecdotal baloney......where's the beef snowflake?
More opinionated baloney.....where's the beef snowflake? Facts....Proof...you know!
Again, the thread is about arbitrary increases in the minimum wage and their impact on restaurants. Got anything other than OPINIONS lacking anything factual to back them up?

FACT, Trump, in his first two years, a white dude has done more to help blacks, raising their wages and lowering their unemployment than the semi-black dude named Obama in eight years.
Why do race hustling morons ignore facts?
How does an arbitrary increase in the minimum wage laws make things better for them race hustler? Be specific using something more credible that your lunatic bloviation.
The only one's "oppressing" the black community are the black leadership and the Democratic Party of the Jackass.

OK...I don't get it. What is the problem here? The cost of labor is what it is. If Restaurants in NYC can't cover their over head cost which include maybe they need to adjust their business model to be more competative. Why should workers sacrifice their right to negotiate for the cost of their services so these businesses can succeed on their backs?
Why is it ok for these Restaurants to collectively organize to negotiate what they can charge for their goods and services but it's horrible that workers have the same level playing field right to collectively negotiate that these businesses do?
So what if these business struggle? What's even the point of working for one if you don't earn an acceptable living wasge? What good are they to you as a worker if only they profit?
You're free market fundamentalism is showing your double standard again Wacko. Why do you want to take away rights of workers that business enjoy so that businesses can succeed on the backs of their workers? What's even the point of that?

Mandating arbitrary minimum wage laws negates their ability to negotiate? How is a dish washer a unique and difficult job mandating higher wage rates? How are businesses forcing anyone to work for less than they are worth.
What we have here scarecrow, are a lot of strawmen in your post.
Do you have any facts to back up this assertion that they are colluding among themselves? Another strawman scarecrow.
Arbitrarily setting minimum wages actually negates workers ability to negotiate scarecrow.
So what if they close and people end up on the unemployment line? Dumb.
So if this is true, scarecrow, why not mandate an hourly wage of $45 an hour? Who can live in NYC on $15?
Why operate a business without a profit you Marxist moron?
Your Marxist ramblings suggests a lack of education.
Who is forcing anyone to work for less than they think they are worth in this country you Marxist dunce?

No, you were making yourself look like a blithering moron. White Nationalism and Racism are screeds lacking factual support.
And yet, when asked to provide factual support, you deflect and bloviate like a clueless moron about Racism.

You know what the minimum wage means to business?....
....to business, it only means, "I would pay you less- if I only could"!
Nice cheap shot! LOL
No it's like Wack doesn't get it. I make the equivalent of $40/hour. I'm not a manager. I am a professional and I am an individual contributor. In short, I'm still a laborer. The only reason I get paid the high wages that I do is that if my fellow colleagues and I walked off the job, the business would be shut down. They can't only not succeed without our skilled work...they can't do any business at all.
So you can see why I'm pretty flippant by some MBA type who wants to eliminate my right to have a say in what I get paid for my work so some MBA type can make more money on my back and everyone else's wage gets diluted.
Wacko just hasn't seem to have worn those shoes.

There is no free market at play when it is mandated by the government. If workers go their bosses and get a raise that’s their deal. If you don’t like your pay at one place you as a worker have the right to go to another establishment where they will pay you higher. There have been multiple articles written locally about what the increased cost of labor has done to restaurants in SF (and it’s not me writing the articles)
