55. Well, like i said, they're gonna raise the prices anyway, so given
the choice of a price increase with a wage increase or a price increase w/o a wage increase, i'll take the former. As someone who has been working around the minimum wage through two federally mandated minimum wage increases, there is no way in heck that you are going to convince me that these wage increases are in fact a net negative for workers like me. The raising of prices will go on just as surely as the sun is going to rise; the raising of wages will *only* occur due to legal mandate or extremely short supply of labor.
