But a ton of folks in Baton Rouge will win from this, no?

Again, I think that's at best a wash. Sure. Many making min-wage would get a raise but AGAIN, that doesn't actually expand the amount of resources the individual business had available for hiring people in the first place. Hence, unless the business is going charity on us, that simply has to have an effect elsewhere. Higher prices, fewer people hired, some let go......likely a combination of all.

Why do people think this isn't reality?
