Its really crazy how basically every conservative policy always comes down to the "science" of cruelty. The reasons never reason, the math never maths. The nexus is always "I hate people who aren't me"

But how did wages compare to states that did not raise min wage? In my city/state of Huntsville, Alabama, entry level jobs pay between $12 and $18/hr. ~$15/hr entry level jobs are very abundant here.

Companies can afford these wages. Walmart, Target, Amazon, made plenty of money. Walmart made enough money to put $8.1B in buybacks and $7.5B dividends into the stock market. They could have used that to give their workers raises of $7,426.
