As long as I get a 9.75$ bump in my salary I'm ok w/ this. Otherwise all us that make more than that take a hit because it will cause inflation.

The idea that a minimum wage increase causes inflation is a Fox news fantasy, not real life.

“Historical data supports the stance that a minimum wage has had a minimal impact on how companies price their goods and does not materially cause inflation.”
