The Fosters Freeze team in Lemoore, California, felt "shock" as they learned of the restaurant's last-minute closure on Monday, following the state's newly enacted $20 minimum wage law.
“He did blame it on the minimum wage increase. Although, from my understanding, I think we were exempt from it because of the amount of locations that he personally owns. But, he did ultimately blame it on that increase,” she said.
So, this article is about the alleged effects of the California minimum wage increase despite the one piece of evidence not demonstrating the relationship between cause and effect?
This is like saying climate change isn’t happening because the sun is burning hotter with your one piece of evidence being a scientist that says “The sun has nothing to do with climate change,”, and then blatantly insisting that climate change isn’t happening because of the sun.
The economic evidence for minimum wages increases points to either small shocks to low-wage labor and teenagers or no effect at all.
That something was predicted at all is unsurprising. Economist especially have predicted that minimum wages increases will cause hell to break loose since Milton Friedman. But that’s never actually happened, and, as mentioned before, the evidence is that it doesn’t.
So, what’s the magnitude of the negative consequences? No article has (or at this point, can) determine that. That just leaves conservatives with the rhetorical strategy of hyperbole, often emphasizing particularly damaging instances that aren’t representative of the norm. All y’all got is hot air.

Article after article say the same thing. This was predicted from the start.
