Seattle is officially the GOAT city

"SEATTLE -- Unimpressed with the city's plan to increase the minimum wage to $15 per hour, the CEO of a Seattle company announced Tuesday that he's raising his company's minimum wage to $70,000 a year.

Yes, even the most junior clerical worker at Gravity in Seattle will soon make $70,000 a year."

Just hope with wages increasing, cost of living doesnt double. Real problem is rent rates quadrupling and grocery prices doubling.
