Next-to-last ¶:
Fugere added that paid sick leave costs "less than one half of one percent of my revenue. There's no question that the costs outweigh the benefits."
Is that mistyped, or did he say the opposite of what he meant?

I'm sure Seattleblues is chock-full of anecdotal evidence for how it turned his alleged small business into a socialist hell-hole.

Paging Seattleblues... paging Seattleblues...

It may sound ignorant or braggy, but living in a (Eastern-)European developing country I did not realize until recently that paid sick leave and maternity leave are not a guaranteed right everywhere in the world.

@8:

Does thee Washington Restaurant Association ever tire of being wrong? Do their members ever notice they pay dues to an organization that lobbies under false assumptions AND sucks at getting these socialist utopia bills defeated?

Tie the minimum wage to inflation? We'll all go out of business.

no Smoking? We'll all go out of business.

no styrofoam? We'll all go out of business.

Food Trucks? We'll all go out of business.

sick Leave? We'll all go out of business.

Please wait...
