So…How’s NYC’s New Minimum Wage Working Out?

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio gave himself a pat on the back for raising his city’s minimum wage to $15 an hour.

This week the minimum wage in New York City increased to $15 an hour — and it wouldn’t have happened without the working people who make this city run every single day demanding a raise they deserve. pic.twitter.com/zIlbSfTVA5

YOU DON’T SAY! I THOUGHT EVERYONE WOULD BE RICH NOW! YOU’RE TRYING TO TELL ME BUSINESSES AREN’T JUST PAYING OUT ALL OF THIS MONEY. WOWOWOWOWOWOWOWWWW.

So what are the Democrats gonna do about it?

They’re going to try to take this disaster nation-wide:

Democratic lawmakers are expected this afternoon to unveil a bill that would raise the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour–more than double the current wagehttps://t.co/8ZXpXEntxL

…WTF?

Yeah. That’ll work. Good job, imbeciles.

I guess I’ll just quit writing and find a minimum wage job somewhere. It’s a lot easier, doesn’t require me to think about anything, and know-it-alls in the comments will crawl out of my A$$. PERFECT. I’ll see you at the drive-through window.

PS Democrats realize not EVERYONE gets a “raise,” right? The very lowest rung of employees does – raising prices on EVERYTHING – but the rest of us won’t GET a raise – meaning OUR money will be worth LESS.

AAAAAWESOME.

It’s legitimately like Democrats WANT to burn this crap to the ground.
