Seattle’s $15 minimum wage effective April 1st. Restaurants are closing. UNEXPECTEDLY! [Darleen Click]. Yes! Hiking your labor cost and leaving restaurants with negative profits is like so eleventy! More brilliance from elected morons who couldn’t get a job at McDonald’s because they can’t make change.

I predict a huge increase in their homeless population and a shortage of cardboard for those "will work for food" signs.....
Imagine what the price of a cup of coffee will be at Starbucks!
$15 dollars, plus they will raise their prices nationwide to help offset the Seattle Stupidity Movement.
Their coffee is overpriced now and lousy too.
Italian roast
That's right about what I was thinking.
and we already know, the leftists will point to this as proof that capitalism doesn't work.
And of course the idiots in Seattle's government are all trying to act like nobody saw this coming.
None of them did see it coming. However anyone with a shred of common sense did see it coming. That would exclude liberals. But, the brainwashed dolts, er I mean oh so smart Seattle voters asked for it.
Cause and affect. Way to go the dip shits. Increase the unemployment and close the small businesses. Look at Venezuela.
I'm going to really start worrying (& hoarding) when the progofascists start in a fixing the toilet paper industry.
I just realized something. These same morons that can't make change are the ones that came up with the Common Core math standards.
Next time your total comes to $5.69, hand the drone at the register $11.00 and watch their head explode.
If you damn wingnuts would understand that 1+1=POTATO things would go so much easier. After the FEMA camps you will see our wisdom.[/fascist progressive democrats]
In a way this will be a leap forward for restaurants and their customers. Automation will deliver better, more consistent, and faster food. Imagine never having to worry about a surly leftist employee spitting in your food or the illegal alien cook not washing their hands. It will be a revolution. Also imagine the owner of the food establishment being able to deliver this enhanced service and keeping the end price point the same while pocketing the 20% tip that would go to the surly server.
I helped automate manufacturing and I know younger engineers are busy automating the service industry. Remember that progressive fascists (birm) have great sounding names for the policies that destroy the middle and working lower classes. The progofascists will not be happy until their are two wildly distanced classes. The useful idiots of the left are going to be shocked.
Economics and liberalism is like garlic and vampires.
As the flack for the Restaraunt Assoc. put it "It's not a political problem, it's a math problem." and Progressive pols are not big on msth. In this case they are subtracting a little from the number of people who have jobs, but adding a lot to their own pride in making 'Things Better for Everyone' .
They are not big on math, but they may be high on meth.
