And to get really crazy, instead of minimum wage, employers must demonstrate that employees can afford two bedrooms with no more than twenty five percent of gross wages.
Stuff like that always backfires. You lose the businesses altogether, now nobodies got nothing.
I believe the standard counter to that is that if you can't meet that standard then you either shouldn't have employees or you shouldn't have a business
That's a brain dead retort, utilized by people that don't think, just repeat ideas they heard elsewhere and barely understand. Note, I ain't saying that to you in particular. Brings to mind the rent controlled buildings standing vacant in NY, because it's below input/maintenance to rent out.
