$15 Minimum Wage is KILLING Seattle.

U are putting the cart before the horse. How will raising minimum wage enable people to buy more if it costs people their jobs and businesses?

Simple breh. More people have disposable income that they can spend more. That puts more people with money out there. Those people who couldn't spare some extra change for non essential purchases can do so.

Why are you acting like a ton of businesses are closing when its only been announced 3 restaurants are out of the 50+ in the area.

And, how is a minimum wage law that hasn't even taken effect killing restaurants now?

 

[concise]

Garbage reporting. The hike hasn't occurred as is meant to be gradual. These businesses just failed. Failed journalism and sensationalism

Truth. Restaurants literally close everyday.

Tipping is what allowed restaurants to get away with murder for decades, now they cant undo the system without killing themselves in the process.
