My original point was that while everyone is pleading that the raise in minimum wage will destroy the economy and drive business away, there are a lot of companies still investing here. Because a lot of these companies are money making machines I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt that they realize based on their experience that this will not have as devestatingly bad of an effect as many here suggest, otherwise why would they invest here?

You gave me literally four examples of a business opening. Four. A Loblaws, a Saks 5th Avenue, and 2 MECs. Except the Loblaws announcement is from last January which means plans and construction began before the downturn. And the Saks and MECs are just announcements of plans to open stores, not actual openings, not even construction. That is not proof of anything, it certainly isn't proof of "a lot of companies still investing here".
I gave you examples of what real tangible proof backed up by numbers looks like. You failed to deliver anything similar. Why? Because you simply make things up to support your inane claims.
