    Let’s not forget also, that when you pay people directly they go and spend that money. Businesses cannot have customers if the customers don’t have money. The reason why money is kept so tight is a) blind greed and b) because then people can only afford to patronize Walmart or Amazon, not their local stores.

    Conservatives like to act as though raising minimum wage will kill local businesses despite the fact that that is not how that works.
