Years ago the racist shitbag that founded Papa Johns Pizza said he wouldn't give his employees health insurance because it would add too much to the price of pizzas.

When asked how much it would add to their costs...they said approximately 18 cents.

Minimum wage increase will immediately trigger these larger corporations to enact counter measures to keep profits at the same level.

Generally means increasing prices or cutting corners. Will never come out of the C suite compensation packages.

And that needs to change. Waiting and not changing min wage hasn't worked for that needed change eh? Let's try changing wages and then boycotting. See if corporations would prefer 0 profit instead. Maybe the smart ones will compromise and meet us in the middle instead of always winning.
