      It increases the cost of living for everything else.

      Yes, I know that the cost of living is going up regardless, but that is their answer.

        That sounds a lot like “I make more than them and if they get a raise I won’t”. The cost of living has nothing to do with that lol

        But thst doesn’t happen when they have raised the minimum wage in other places. Why do they think that?

        this has been disproven time and time again and is just propaganda you are parroting.
