Slaves don't receive wages.

Oh, and why we're letting the market decide, don't forget that tax breaks for the uber wealthy brings jobs back to America! I mean, you put all those billions back in the pockets of the richest 1%, and you know what? They want to spend it all on the American middle class!

Why? Because, Republicans!

Businesses fail every day. Connecting this to minimum wage is funny.

It's not funny for the employees that will lose their jobs and the business owners that will lose their business .

You can ask a liberal business owner and they will say $15 min wage is a horrible idea .

Isn't Roxbury (the Boston district the pizza parlor is) a poor part of the city to begin with? If so, that may explain why it closed.

so the parlor paid its employees higher wages, but probably had to sell those pizzas at a price the marrket would bear, but they couldnt make any money at that point. so until SJWs learn the lesson that a business has to make money to stay in business, we are going to have stories like this regularly.

i dont care if a government wants to set a minimum wage, just NOT the federal government. a one size fits all wage does not fit anyone. if california wants to set a statewide minimum wage of $15 per hour, fine, but dont make arizona require that wage since costs are lower here.
