One positive benefit of the $15 minimum wage: I'll never have to tip a server in a restaurant ever again. No tipping dealers at a casino, no tipping bellhops. Nada. Their employer is about to double their hourly wage. Why do I need to pay them?


That’s a pretty small benefit up against the shitshow that a $15 minimum wage will create.

Wasn't it the CBO that estimated that over 1 million jobs would be lost if the minimum wage was increased to $15?

Of course, I was being somewhat facetious. But if opponents of the wage raised this as a point, perhaps even more people in the service industry would come out against it. Warn people that there's a very real chance that tips across the board will decline.
