I'm not convinced the bill, or the political climate in general, led to this. I think the unemployment rate did. Amazon is looking at their holiday season staffing needs, and wondering how to compete against all the other businesses fighting over that limited labor pool. A big "$15!" splashy headline looks great then.
Then business does business, and attaches a bunch of cost-saving measures to it, and then it looks bad. No different than the normal corporate development cycle. Not enough leadership, a bunch of people doing what's best for their department rather than the whole company. Sad.
