Exactly. All the grocery stores and restaurants should close and we'll see how well that bodes for the local citizens.

Edit, I'm being sarcastic. It's glib to suggest that somehow all of these businesses can just magically raise prices. It's a complex situation.

Yep, and when those stores and restaurants actually close down (just watch louis rossmanns videos about NYC), this means even more workers and even less workplaces, driving wages down.

And unemployment has to be paid by someone too...
