Well you hit the nail on the head here...........but with our government today they don't care about really helping folks............they only care about making it SEEM they are helping folks. It's all a joke........hell the ones hardest hit will be high school kids just looking to make a buck to pay for gas or a date or what have you and old folks who are still having to work to suplement their retirement if they have any. They will all be fired or not hired to begin with because a small business just can't afford it.
What do you mean the business can't afford it? Employees are not a jewelry, they're not optional. If you want to stay in business you need employees period.
I have enough money but there are others who don't even though they deserve it.

If so, maybe you could use a "pretty simplistic approach" as a framework to make more money, i.e., increase the demand for your labor. Go ahead, put some energy into being more valuable to the rest of society. Use the time you spend posting on internet forums to improve yourself, instead. Many of the qualities and attributes that employers value are literally free.
I got a basement but it's not big enough for all the homeless people who became homeless when they lost their jobs due to happy "globalist" policies of our governments.

You answered your own question. You double folks salaries you have to raise prices the same to make up for it and folks won't come anymore to your business so guess what.........you have NO more employees. You think it's all great though.............all will be fixed........the great O will save us all.........just unreal. It's all a campaign gimmick for the midterms........you just can't see it. You do realize a small restaurant or what have you has to pay bills too right or will the government start doing that for them to make up the difference? Or do you even care?

Who said I would increase the cost of living? People making the minimum wage cut their own grass, if the have it.
What does "cutting the grass" have to do with the cost of living?
The cost of living is: price of housing, energy, food, clothing, transportation, etc.
Paying someone to mow your lawn is what people with extra money do. It's a luxury, not a "cost of living". For me, it's the kid across the street who charges the same as two lunches at work. So, I skip buying lunch a lot, because I don't have any extra money.

Why folks would stop coming? How would cost a burger in McD if wages went up to $15? A dollar more? Would that stop anybody from coming? Lol

And how the businesses producing goods such as housing, energy, food, clothing or transportation would have to raise their price to account for a minimum wage increase? How much more would a Chinese made TV cost?

Raising wages increases the cost of the products and services, which increases the cost of living.
Where do you think the money is coming from?
