As a small business owner, you expect the best employees and pay them $9 an hour, for 30 fukking years and not expect them to drop your ass?
Many small business owners are fukking delusional on their take home pay after low-balling their employees.
Minimum wage here is 15.50 and there are tons of abandoned commerce districts all over the county.
20 ph is 41k a year per employee
The average small business nets 60k a year and closures were happening before pandemic assistance. Now that's gone and they have to pay more people to subsidize the governments failures..... hahaha hahaha Wipeout
There's going to be a shift back to mom and pop/family business to cut back on staff. Others will be forced to close or be forced to pick up an additional job to make up the chump change they're losing. Many others, will go out of business. They'll turn these abandoned commerce districts into rental properties.
This initiative should be applied to large corporate chains that net billions per year not a family business barely getting by. But meh more entrepreneurs for the fire as we get another day closer to Amazon Eats for everyone.
Its.wild how anti establishment democrats pretend to be while overtly shuffling citizens to a true, corptocracy.
