What a generalization. Nevermind the thousands of small businesses operating on razor thin margins. They wouldn't be negatively affected by $60k minimum wage in the least bit.

Yes, nobody contemplates what the amazon-plankton thinks of the situation. Because they do not influence the development and outcome of the current situation. And if they all get the same burden put upon them, the price adjusts and nothing ever happened.

We could look more closely at the cost structure of those small businesses, especially the many financial intricacies which underly real estate costs.
