The obvious result of a $15 / hour wage law is inflation, so yes, they get a bump in pay. It won't be immediate, but it will happen.


so the guy that makes $15 an hour today is effectively told “frick you, youre now min wage”?

seems fair.

Fairness arguments are pretty infantile.

The guy making $15 / hour already is probably mostly worried about someone smashing his window and stealing his TV while he's at work. I don't think he's too hung up on this petty totem pole of poor people you're positing. If $15 / hour turns a few ne'er-do-wells into honest burger-flippers, he'll take it.

How much opposition to a minimum wage increase do you really see from people making $15 / hour? Think about it.
