Maybe they should pass a law that the local community MUST purchase at least 3 pizzas a month so that the owner can afford it? You can't just demand an employer incur additional expenses without an offsetting benefit to them.

If the government can force people to purchase health insurance, then all is fair.

Not every business needs that many employees, a business will expand over 15 employees when they need to regardless of the minimum wage.

Nonsense. Their revenue didn't go down, but their costs did go up. He lost his yob because the business now has a huge additional expense. They now have to rewrite their business model and part of that is reducing costs wherever possible.

The corporation is always right. We must live and die for the corporation so it can survive. If it means we starve for them so be it.
They simply cannot comprehend that if more people have more money to waste in a non-necessity like pizza, maybe more pizza joints would open.

Don't complain too loudly about corporate shilling. You'll be voting for this fall for one.

Less jobs and people overworked

Then their service will suffer, and they'll go under because they're a poorly-run business.

Are you referring to Donald "Made In China" Trump? I won't be voting for him, sorry.

It's funny because the same people who love this clown (under the guise that he's out for the little guy) would rather die than see a raise in the minimum wage. You guys would stand in front of a bus to protect corporate profits.
