Seattle passed a $26/hour min wage to help gig workers. It made things WORSE.
Driver pay didn’t rise, but customers pay more, and restaurants get fewer orders.

I am 53 years old. I started a business, worked my dick off, sold it for a couple million dollars, invested all of it into building dormitories in 2019, Covid shut everything down, lost the majority of my money, the rest of my money was in bitcoin, which I leveraged on an exchange and subsequently lost all of that. I went back to work hard and took out massive loans to start a new business, I own nothing and I have $300,000 of Debt, by this time of next year the Debt will be gone and I will be making half $1 million a year. I have nobody to blame but myself and I will also be taking all of the credit this time next year. Whiners can go fuck themselves.
