+1 to what JoB said, an increase in minimum wage I can’t imagine would hurt businesses much, for sure not a 45% increase in the prices of w/e. If you calculate it, business will be only be giving people an extra 10-20$ a day. I spend much more than that at the store. Not to mention, all the stores mostly have products picked/farmed from out of state and transported here, so there’s no cost increase because it would be just a state minimum wage increase. I think it’s a good idea to the increase of normal living, i.e. rent costs. People should be making more, along with the people who go to school for 4+ years, they should be making more than $17 an hour
