What happens when/if they make the minimum wage $15... and make it enforceable? And once we start to see the effects of that? Note I work for a smaller family owned business... they looked at me and said out right "none of us have really thought about that, but you make more than that"... though yes I do make over 15 its not much over, and assuming the effects are what they seem they will be... my wage will no longer be a comfortable living wage(hell it's barely a comfortable wage now).. so basically I was just told a cost of living increases hasn't even been considered and I'm going to go from earning a decent wage to a nearly unlivable wage. (Note: my position consists of multiple different duties that I've never met another single person able to do all three. Not bragging I just know my worth it would take two if not 3 people to replace me).

Some red States will nullify I think, hopefully you're in one, if enough do it I think it would offset the negative impacts since many blue states already have higher cost of living and wages for lower paying jobs.
I've heard this also... however Ive also heard fed has the ability to enforce a minimum wage through the IRS... not sure they can not sure how that would work but how would a state be able to nullify it if enforced through the IRS?
