The minimum wage increase and the push to $15/hr by 2020 will make the business fail.

Arizona has a ballot initiative to raise the minimum wage to $12. The ads for it say it isn't just kids making minimum wage, but it is becoming more and more people providing for their families. I take that to mean that they started their families before they could really afford to support them and somehow it is MY FAULT!

Just wait until January - when California's minimum wage goes to $11. Shortly after, look for layoffs and business shutdowns to skyrocket.

That oughta put quite a damper on the number of Americans eating out.

I heard today that my brother's California business will be partially moving to Puerto Rico. I imagine if that works out, the whole thing will be gone in two years. As he put it, he has no choice. The minimum wage increase and the push to $15/hr by 2020 will make the business fail.

He employs more than 30 people.
