And this goes back and fourth
The one difference that I've notice in my defence of the wage increase in contrast to most who oppose it is I acknowledge the fact that there will be problems with the raise in wage while in most people will just insists on their views being the only option. I don't think this plan is perfect or the only possible option, IMO I just haven't seen any better alternatives given

There is a difference between "I think this will/won't work because reasons" and "we should do it because you haven't proven it wont work". It's the latter that I take issue with, even if I generally disagree with your reasons given in the former.
As to your final paragraph, Most of us understand and accept that minimum wages will and have to happen. But our argument is that Notley has chosen to raise it too far, too fast in a depressed economy, backed by blind ideology rather than sound consideration. As a consequence, she is likely to do more damage than good. As it is, she is already blatantly lying when she says her increases won't cost anybody their jobs.
