As long as I get a 9.75$ bump in my salary I’m ok w/ this. Otherwise all us that make more than that take a hit because it will cause inflation.
The idea that a minimum wage increase causes inflation is a Fox news fantasy, not real life.
“Historical data supports the stance that a minimum wage has had a minimal impact on how companies price their goods and does not materially cause inflation.”

In Netherlands workers already make $20 something an hour and their prices aren’t any different than us. The big boss just doesn’t get as big of a bonus. People working 40 hour weeks should be able to put a roof over their head and live a decent life. They do it in Europe, so we are going to do it here.
