alt Hacker News> If someone cant land a job at minimum wage it is because employers think they would be a net negative at a $0 wage.
Strong disagree, no foundation. There are lots of profits to be made at $10 per hour that can't be made at $15.
A minimum wage raises the bottom wrung of the economic ladder and declares victory for the workers.

Sure, if you have decent workers. But decent workers can make $15/hr so you cant get them. If youre stuck with the people who cant get a minimum wage job you dont have anyone you can trust and you cant build a business like that unless youre amazon tracking everyone's metrics with a billion dollar warehouse system. (amazon also pays well over minimum wage)
