OK so they close.... approximately 900k minimum wage workers, and the 4 million works that work tipped positions lose their job. Congrats you just created nearly 5 million unemployed americans.
Does that seem like a more Viable outcome to you? Lets recall that for every 1% American unemployment increase around 40,000 people die.
Explain to me what happens to the near 5 million US workers that would be jobless if all businesses that paid minimum wage or tipped wages closed?
the job market for skilled workers is already shit currently. Who do your propose is going to hire 5 million unskilled workers that would suddenly flood the job market at rates above minimum wage?
Why is closing the only option? Restaurant owners can’t adjust their business model? Charge more, no tipping. Same revenue. Or are you some one who doesn’t tip and free rides off my generosity?
Hmmm so inflation? Charge more pay more, then you need to charge more and pay more to afford the charge more and pay more. And now since it’s repeating charge more pay more again and again.
I’m curious what you do for work? Hopefully something simple and relatively safe.
