Eateries in Seattle are beginning to shutdown as $15 dollar minimum wage looms


Quote:Publicity and the reaction to it is a huge part of market adjustments. Walmart isn't raising their wages because a new federal minimum wage requires it, they're raising their employee's wages because the market is balking at them for paying such low wages, and people like you, me and plenty of others have used other resources because of it. Walmarts not stupid, they know that, so they're adjusting their pay scale. The market not the fed is doing that.
 

Unfortunately the market doesn't react very often.


For example, we still have companies using child labor with unsafe work conditions in order to get lower costs.  Unfortunately it takes a lot for the average person to say "Convenience doesn't matter, human lives do."  Just look at how successful Apple is.

I was wrong about Trent Baalke.
