Yep. There will be that hollow ringing sound as countless Seattle small business owners slam shut their door for the last time.
But the good news is that Starbucks will do just fine, they charge enough for their coffee to prosper under even a $50 minimum wage.
All those (rich) Chinese refugees from Hong Kong that swarmed into Seattle several years ago(when Hong Kong was turned over to communist China by the Brits) would probably be most upset - if they were paying people in their businesses minimum wage in the first place.
It would seem that Seattle is chomping at the bit to turn itself into another Detroit.
Like that gal Flo in those Progressive ads said: "Don't call security, this is just getting good".
