Where the hell do you think inflation comes from?
If the lowest paid worker now makes more per hour, the company pushes that cost onto the consumer, which will cause them to charge more for their services if they own a business. If they don’t, they spend less on non-essential items, causing those companies to lose money, which makes them cut jobs or raise prices.
Minimum wage increases are a farce to get young, unskilled workers to vote Democrat, not realizing they will eventually be paying more for everything with their ‘higher wage’.
Leftists do NOT understand the economy.
