I'm glad that you've found a new area of niche expertise to look down on the rest or the region from, because Bradley your kid's ski instructor pronounces the state differently and claims he's a local with 2 years exp. Also, he's loving your wife.

Idiots do it, but every person I've ever known who was from the PNW was quick to correct them when they did so. Unless it was like their Grandparents or something, nobody is going to make Grandma feel dumb about not knowing how to pronounce something.

It's not like y'all would pronounce Appalachia right. I'm going to think of you PNW oldtimers as wurshington and orey-goons.

Everyone seems to be talking about that new study on Seattle's minimum wage law, aka it reduced worker hours to the point where workers are making less now: https://qz.com/1014759/seattles-minimum-wage-increase-made-the-most-vulnerable-workers-poorer/ I'm guessing it's going to take more time to see it normalize, but automation will probably consume us by then.

Yeah, that study excludes the businesses that would most be able to shoulder the burden of a higher minimum wage.

Haven't there been studies out forquite a while showing that it had very limited impact at best on worker hours and production? Besides a lot of min wage workers have a second or third job so I would guess they would still be capable to stay busy enough to make at least thier previous wage, and if they decide to do that in fewer hours then that would be a benefit to rhem.

Haha, was that Laura lady the one that tried to get a petition through that would remove the 15/hr and let people vote on if they wanted it to change to the incremental wage increase over like 9 years? I was up in Seattle with a crew blocking those guys back in 2014 and half of them hadn't even read the petition they were carrying.

Working 60 hours a week for $10 an hour and then getting it cut to 40 a week for $15/hr is objectively less money but also much less exhausting. Personal decision if it's an improvement or not but for a lot of people it probably is. A lot of people probably don't WANT to work 60 hours a week but their three 20 hour a week jobs demand every second of it from them.

It's pretty terrible because dogs and cats are definitely going to die, it happens every loving summer and I can't understand how people aren't more aware at this point.

dont even fink about it posted:Even if it weren't, if you can't pay a living wage to your workers, are you really providing them anything and deserving of existence as a business? For gently caress's sake, $15 is nothing. The McDonald's next to my house in West Seattle has a sign in the drive-through window from the franchise owner stating that menu prices may be higher than national promotions due to minimum wage requirements in the city. I'm sitting in my car like "I just got a sack of food for like $10. I can deal."

Ooooh, yeah I getcha. I was in a hurry with that post and probably should have explained that part better. What I meant to say but didn't was that those guys were misrepresenting the petition, saying it was for something completely different, or that it was the petition to get the 15/hr, and when our guys asked to read the petition they were carrying and told them what it said they seemed to be surprised that it said that, and a few wanted to get hired on with us. I didn't mean to criticize the petitioners so much as their employers tactics. I have plenty of first-hand experience with that job area so I know the slumps those peeps are in, and it really sucks.

McDonalds hasn't really represented a good value for a long time anyway. I can get local food for the same price and it tastes better. Most of their ads say "prices and participation may vary" so I kind of doubt that he is going to get into trouble with McDonalds corporation or lose his franchise, but holy poo poo if you actually need to raise prices why would you draw attention to it in this way? To me it seems like it can't really do you much good, but could do harm. Small business owners can be so dumb.
