You're especially sensitive about PP. WOW! I make a comparison reference and you blow that up into videos and I'm completely misinformed? I was not even talking about videos. You read into this your liberal bias I guess. I stand by that PP doesn't care about babies though.

As for the UW...I have been clear that it's impossible to make ANY determination one way or the other about the effect of the minimum wage because it's too early to tell. If they have concluded anything as you say...they're trying to push an agenda or you're reading way too much into their conclusions. And if you think a university isn't beyond pushing an agenda...well...you're being a little naive.

As for the number...you cherry picked 20% from Walmart and Target?? Last time I checked...Walmart doesn't have a store in the city of Seattle. Sorry, and the original post is about small business not huuuge retailers.

And I love your analysis: Yes, small business owners will just raise their prices and everyone will be hunky dory. Yes, all those consumers out there will be more than happy to pay the extra cost of those price increases and won't alter their shopping patters at all.
