Adjust your business model. Asking businesses to pay living wages is not unreasonable.

Pull yourself up by the bootstraps. Isn't that your mantra?

It's a win-win. You get to keep your shop open and they get the opportunity to find a job with somebody who isn't staying open on a shoestring.
You point out exactly what happens with arbitrary minimum wage. Unemployment rises.

Again...it’s kind of hard to compete when you’re playing by rules paying for worker comp, insurance, etc...and many of your competitors are using illegals paying cash under the table...thanks to you lefties with your open border policies

And this argument ALWAYS comes from people who have never run a business. As far as I can tell, none have even been in a management position of any kind. I've asked.
Sometimes it's a person running an established business who is paying all of their employees $15 or more. What they don't tell you though is that when they were starting out they paid very low "non livable" wages and can only afford the higher wages now that their business has expanded and become established.

Of course now someone will chime in and say "well ackshually...adjusted for inflation I paid over $15 an hour right from the beginning" but they are either full of it or leaving out some vital details, like they used capital from an investor or a previous business venture to start their new business.

Yes, close down and go on unemployment. Big Brother will take care of you, and you won’t need to worry about going to a pesky job.
