Croissants at LaGuardia are going for SEVEN DOLLARS A PIECE 
Yet some people think getting a whole hour of personal, dedicated human labor for $15 is too expensive??
GOP taking every tweet so earnestly, making my point for me. It’s not an argument against the price of a croissant - it’s about the value of human worth.
But I guess that idea is foreign to them since their policies treat people as disposable anyway 
Going against a living wage is a half-baked notion, to be sure.
If I am a business owner and all of a sudden I have to pay someone $15 an hour, wouldn't I just raise my prices to keep the same margins??? So in effect nothing happens...
Devil's advocate: I estimate it would take me 3-4 hours to produce a single edible croissant.
You don't understand how markets work, do you?
To be fair, raising the minimum wage is one piece of the puzzle. A major expense of most small businesses (~20% or more for some) is arranging for the health insurance of their employees. If we had a single payer system then premium, deductible, and co-pays would go away.
