By the way, they weren't a failure until you arbitrarily jacked up their labor cost! In another word, you drove them out of business or in your word, they weren't running a successful business model anyway.

Ah, so the business should be allowed to continue because the workers can't do better than a deadbeat gym? Your post doesn't make any sense why we should be promoting failure with businesses.

Well, if a business goes under because they cannot afford to pay their employees minimum wage, then that business was already destined to fail.

Again, they were not failures! Not until you arbitrarily jacked up their labor cost. You drove the business to bankruptcy.

What do you mean "allowed"?

Again, if minimum wage causes your business to fail, then it was a failure of a business to begin with.

OK, then what about the workers? Now they are on the street. Where and how can they feed their family with $0/hour?

By raising the minimum wage, didn't you just shoot the workers in the foot?

Workers are now incapable of finding jobs? What would you do if you did not have a job due to your previous job going under?

Again, if they could find better job, why would they work for the said business to begin with??? There are low skilled workers you are talking about.

Please also keep in mind, it wouldn't be just this one business going out. They had a job, and you just took the jobs away.

That's OK, you could not fly on the aircraft I worked on. No passengers were allowed, EVER!
They were fire bombers, protecting YOUR forests.
NOW, how much was my expertise on vintage aircraft worth?

Permanently eliminate any job not worth $15.

Minimum wage is mandatory unemployment.

Particularly for black male teenagers.
