There is a lady in my town who runs a small BBQ joint that keeps spamming Facebook, posting that she needs dishwashers and servers but is only paying $9/hour. Without fail, someone informs her that minimum wage in Minnesota is $10.08 for large employers. She always replies with "I'M A SMALL BUSINESS! MINIMUM WAGE IS LOWER FOR ME!" Needless to say, she hasn't found help yet.

$9/hr is great... IF YOU LIVE IN A VAN DOWN BY THE RIVER! Which is where a lot of people may end up living if they can actually afford a vehicle big enough to house them and their children

Christ, I've not been on 9 bucks an hour since high school, twenty years ago. I don't know how people are managing :(
