Didn't want to hijack the thread below.
News item: Fellow in Washington who was at the forefront of the $15 minimum wage battle has done the math (ATFER the law was passed) and now finds his business is in jeopardy. Seems that even at the interim level of $12 per hr. this moron has finally done the figures and realizes he can't stay in business at even the $12 level, say nothing of the $15 level. He says something to the effect of "I thought it was only going to cost a few extra dollars per year.(?!!!!) I had no idea it was going to cost me this much". He's kinda screwed, since he only has one employee, so laying off workers isn't an option. The prices are printed on the comic books, so he can't raise his prices. His "solution" is to offer a club membership ($240 something a year) where you would get "special deals" an such.
You made this stuff up and nobody would believe you!
This is the fool who was in the forefront of getting this law passed.
