Oh, I like this (in CNN today):
if Seattle can sustain $15, why not other cities?
Movements are afoot in San Francisco, Oakland, Los Angeles, San Diego, Chicago, New York and Washington to raise those cities' minimum wages well above the $10.10 mark that congressional Democrats and President Barack Obama are pushing nationally. Opponents of wage increases will be quick to paint Seattle as an outlier, but business conditions in all of these cities -- and many others -- are comparable enough to Seattle that there is no reason why they can't absorb a similarly gradual increase to $15.
Fast food workers are ready to roll, so to speak:
But Americans -- low-wage workers, middle class families and even many business owners -- have had enough. The movement to create a decent life and a truly sustainable economy for us all can no longer be stifled.
Look out: The wall of resistance to a $15 an hour minimum wage has been breached -- and the flood is coming to your city, too.
