@zofiakwasiborska2467
SERIOUSLY?
Your prior comment didn't make sense, so that's why I said to try again, or whatever my actual verbiage was.
I also wasn't talking about gas prices, because those change depending on lots of things, especially the US's oil supply and if we are dependent on another country for it, or ourselves.
I was talking about things like food, goods, rent, services, etc. All things that would be affected if minimum wage was increased. Especially smaller businesses, like Ma and Pop places. Also, minimum wage is different across the US, and so increases it to $15 across the board, could be very difficult, if the current minimum wage is under $10. Also, most minimum wages that are lower, are lower, because the cost of living is lower.
If you raise minimum wage in those places, everything will go up, food, goods, rent, home prices, etc... You can't just increase minimum wage and not have other things increase as well. Businesses will have to increase their prices, in order to offset the increase in wages.
Especially is the business taxes also increase. That's like a double whammy!
Hopefully that helps explain my PRIOR comment better.
Please go back and read your prior comment to me. I don't know if maybe English isn't your first language, and that's why it doesn't make sense, or if you just didn't proofread it first. Either way, it didn't make sense and I was simply asking you to fix it, or explain things differently. No need to make ignorant comments like "try what? Like opioids," or whatever BS comment you said.
