I called you on some bullshit.
Chief among the bullshit was that this was not a targeted political attack. Even the council hearings recognized what this was about, and you suddenly backed into that position after your initial post.
The second piece of bullshit was the assertion that "study after study" proves that businesses paying less than this arbitrary "living wage" drain net wealth from a city rather than increase it. It's obvious that since everyone in D.C. in the same bracket has been paying less than this up until now, the city should have imploded years ago. I declare that there are no such studies, and never have been.
If this is "minutia," make the most of it.
Wal-mart will stop being a target of the Left five minutes after they unionize. If you want to know what this is about, take 1.3 million U.S. employees, and multiply by the typical union dues of around $20 a month.
Detroit had a specific type of "governance" for about half a century. Chicago is circling the same drain.
