A lot of other people have pointed out the current circumstances are extraordinary and possibly not a good read through for a legislative minimum wage increase.

A lot of other people have pointed out the current circumstances are extraordinary and possibly not a good read through for a legislative minimum wage increase. Another POV, anecdotally, from the article: > Matt and his best friend from McDonald’s, David Putnam, were making $12 an hour at Tim Hortons doughnut shop. The extra money meant David, who was raising his 2-year-old son on his own, no longer needed donated food from the “Blessing Box” near his house. He had recently even been able to treat his mother and stepfather to dinner at the Hunan Buffet across the parking lot from his new job. If those are the consequences, bring it on.
