re: #66 Ghost of Tom Joad

Ugh…you know what, if your business is using so much minimum-wage labor that a small raise to those people will put you out of business, then you’re a shitty businessman who probably shouldn’t be running a business in the first place.

The marginal salary cost for a single full-time employee to go from $7.25/hr to $9/hr is $3500/yr.

If you’re running margins that tight, the writing is already on the wall.
