Ah, the slippery slope of using government to strong-arm the market:

Jen Perelman is an attorney, activist, and former Democratic congressional candidate, so she obviously is an expert on how to run a company, build capital, edge out competitors, and attract talent with fair wages.
I'm sure she's done a lot of research into what might happen to the economy if the employees at the local go-kart place are making $25/hour without even needing a high school diploma!
Here were a few responses to this laughable suggestion:

1391778063755657216
1391808498502152193
1391743718529675270
1391779643515146241
1391809185432616964

Yesterday, it was fifteen dollars. Today, it is twenty-five dollars. Tomorrow, it will be a hundred trillion dollars.
Just like Zimbabwe!

Over a decade ago, the Zimbabwean government started printing as much money as possible to "fix" economic problems. It ended with the government literally printing TRILLION-dollar bills that would only buy you a cheap loaf of bread.
But sure, let's follow that model on our path to a #LivingWage!
