re: More evidence why you should oppose the "national" minimum wage hike ...

I'm not convinced you even understand the data yet.

Despite whether it's good for the whole of the country, which could certainly be debated, the point here is that this results in a direct loss of competitiveness for places like Baton Rouge. It simply defies economic sense, but that's to be expected when you put quantitatively-challenged idealists in positions of power.
