Re: New Seattle Business Tax
You just made a great argument against having any minimum wage at all..Chizzang wrote:Minimum wage is becoming irrelevant in Seattle...AZGrizFan wrote: So minimum wage in Seattle is now $33/hr?
It's just whatever amount it takes to keep people on staff
Example:
Sears is run out of Chicago
and corporate can't figure out what to do so they're closing all 4 stores in Western Washington
Nobody will work for minimum wage at Sears apparently and Chicago won't budge much
The sign in the window in Redmond for years said Hiring: $15 an Hr and the sign never came down
Eventually I guess they just gave up

It’s a bedroom community which is the 2nd fastest growing town in SC and has been taking industries left and right from Charlotte.

My boys (BOYS) have TV’s they hardly ever use. They’re on their gaming computers or watching Netflix on a Switch or iPhone. 90% of the wife’s viewing is on an iPad.
