Now you have a new premise. Tell us about the "numerous" retailers, in
concrete terms, and the net result of the wage increases. Be careful
-- your "facts" will be checked.

You claim to show what will happen, but I think you are wrong. Increasing the minimum wage is likely to have a trickle up effect. The people who were making $ 15 an hour before the minimum wage will get their wages increased. There current employer will either pay more or they will find another job that does pay more. And so on. So eventually even those on Social Security will get more. It will just cause inflation and that will eventually get $15 an hours as not enough to live on.

You did not consider anything but the cost of labor going up. But a higher Minimum wage will increase all costs eventually.
