What about the city’s massive homeless population? Does that have anything to do with small businesses being unable to set wages and hire members of society who don’t have the credentials to be hired by major corporations and earn a $15/hr wage, leaving them no options to contribute in society?

Grocery prices are only one part of the equation. What did the minimum wage hike do for the 10,000 homeless people living in the Seattle metropolitan area?
