After they pass it, everyone will be complaining that there's no jobs and it's $59 for a Big Mac meal

Is the various NYC leadership really this stupid?
Or is it some sort of grand experiment, consequences be damned?
Democrats in positions of power keep going on and on about affordability, but at the same time, they're doing everything they can to make things more expensive. Doh!

What they fail to understand is NYC is filled with tourists. Raising the minimum wage that much will cause everything to increase. This will lead to less tourism.

Why stop there? I think it should be far more, lets shoot for the stars and make it $100 an hour! That will certainly fix all the problems. These people deserve a living wage... or some socialist propaganda bullshit pet slogan

Yeah, the rest of the population will pay for the increased cost of things. Businesses will not just bend over and make less profit, they will pass those increases on to the public.
How can you believe they're not?
Hardly an experiment, more like a rallying cry to make the rubes think the politicians are "looking out for the little guy" for votes don't ya know.
Democrats are duplicitous and will do every and any thinking to gain or stay in power
I worked for the Department of Defense (Army) as a Journeyman Automotive Mechanic, one of the highest paid positions on Post for Civilians not in management or GS: My wage grade and step never got close to $30. although it has gone up to about that now....That's not mowing grass or picking up trash, it's skilled technical Work.
I really, really, really want this to happen

They only want to increase wages because it will increase payroll taxes. I bet >95% of the working class doesn't even know their employer contributes in addition to the regular withholdings, basically mirroring what the employee pays.
That's their dream.
In reality the only thing that goes up is the unemployment claims and the cost of whatever product the companies sell.

Why stop there? Why not make it $100? Then everyone can afford everything they want, and we wont need free busses or to tax the wealthy into oblivion. Why didnt anyone think of this before?
I watched a video not too far back, many a month ago. Interviewer was going around the city asking small business owners what they thought of this.
All of them, I do mean ALL of them said that if something like this goes through, they will be closing their stores.
Not a single one said that they would stay.
