Lots of fear mongering, and lots of " need to talk to the businesses that it will impact" statements. Of course a business owner is going to oppose it, it's less profit. Why not talk to the minimum wage earners and see how they live. See the impact that it might have on them.

Lots of talk about 'evidence' and not much in terms of understanding what that even means.
Cowboy sort of nailed it theres a lot of moving parts to this so determining the effectiveness of one variable is difficult.
So while there isnt any evidence that the Seattle experiment has failed there isnt any evidence that it has succeeded in any way either.
