So what’s your take on this?Originally Posted by BarryBobPosthole
How much of Oklahoma’s economy is based on the fossil fuel industry? Won’t this, and any future bans on fracking hurt it?
How do you think a $15/hour minimum wage will effect small businesses? Will they be able to compete with large franchises and mega corporations?
I don’t see how they can. As an example, my town used to have several locally owned grocery stores. Then a large regional chain moved into town. The chain basically took a loss on the local store so that they could out-price the local stores. They did, and eventually ran them all out of business. Well, karma came after them and a Super Wal-Mart opened and out-priced the regional chain and ran them out of business. Now, the only options for groceries are Wal-Mart and Meijer which is a mega chain through Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, Kentucky, and possibly Illinois.
Isn’t more competition better for consumers?
