Digging into data to find impact of Seattle?s $15 minimum wage | The Seattle Times

The data is being collected but it isn't in yet. Give it until the end of 2016, by then you'll actually know if it works or not... Which is exactly what states are supposed to do, test out laws and then the fed scales up nationwide or the state changes course based on results.

Seattle Washington is doing the best at this currently. Min wage, legal weed, same sex marriage and more... Test it all, track it all, scale up what works and drop whatever does not... Why guess when you can know the actual answer?
Why do idiots somehow believe the economy is a testing ground for policies and we will simply hit a button and rewind everything if the policies dont work?

It doesnt work like that. When companies close. They almost certainly close forever. There is no wait and rewind. Some of you just dont get it.
