The minimum wage for fast food workers in the state represented by the big brown grizzly, went to $20 an hour. Surprise, surprise. Suddenly, many restaurants were closed. Strange as it may seem many former employees were left in tears when they arrived at work only to find they were unemployed. Instead of making the 20 they expected they were making zip.

Some were let go. Some of the places they worked shuttered their doors. So, of course, instead of making a living wage, they contemplating how they were going to make the next car payment.

Some places, I assure you, remain open. People will find places to eat, but they will pay more for less.

Now, how do you suppose I figured this would happen. It’s the modified law of supply and demand. If I charge tooooo much for my work, no one will pay for my work.
