That sounds very nice and all. The issue is that there are certain industry profit margins for certain businesses.

It's easy to just say , " Big deal just raise prices".. but there is no guarantee that people will pay those higher prices.

Including the pro $15 crowd.

You realize there are people that started or bought their businesses years ago before these ridiculous laws were passed?

Pro $15 crowd is the same ones that are always screaming for 'affordable housing'.
That's a great point. I do wonder how many members of the "affordable housing" crowd are also supporters of "affordable operating costs for entrepreneurs"?
