blue= raised the min wage already.
yellow = $15/hr proposed (nyc + dc)

everyone raised their prices so buying power is still like making $7.50/hr?

companies cant raise their prices as quickly else customers find alternatives.
thus they are eating the cost resulting in lower profits?

companies have to raise their prices to survive but consumers are finding alternatives, thus the company goes out of business?

Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies! Rivers and seas boiling!
Forty years of darkness! Earthquakes, volcanoes!
The dead rising from the grave!
Human sacrifice! Dogs and cats living together! Mass hysteria!
