As far as the HN crowd is concerned I’m so capitalist/conservative that people would probably call me alt-right, though I’m not.
That said, I think this is incredible and I don’t understand the (non sequitur) arguments that $15/hr AS A FEDERAL MINIMUM WAGE would hurt businesses. As a capitalist the higher base wages are the less worried I have to be about a socialist uprising of legitimately poor oppressed people abused by a plutocracy. Besides, do we want to live in a nation where someone who works hard is still way below the poverty line? If businesses can’t compete at $15/hr wages perhaps that’s a sign they should have used automation a long time ago.
