Seattle makes the coveted $15 minimum wage, people lose jobs.

Welcome to the nanny state, folks. How so? What are nany-state laws anyhow?

First, they are deliberately intended to limit individual freedom by making certain choices unlawful, even when individuals who make those choices are not committing a crime or otherwise threatening anyone else’s rights to life and property.

Second, even though the laws are promised to be for the benefit of society as a whole, they almost always have unintended consequences that go far beyond the behavior they’re intended to prevent or make mandatory.

The minimum wage fits squarely inside both categories

And this is without reference to how they screw up the economy, especially for people who need lower (fair) prices and jobs most.

Tsk, tsk.

Something new for this dude. I’m intrigued by the technology, which shows how out of it I be. So sue me.
