Businesses will raise prices before they cut jobs and turn away customers. 

You should have read the article.  It said that 59% of businesses surveyed said that they would make capital investments in mechanization to eliminate human jobs.

So much for the "fight for $15" mantra.  The thing is, if those folks clamoring for an increase in minimum wage spent just half of the energy that they use to demand more on improving their employability skills, they could likely merit a job paying much more than $15/hr. 

At what point does the light go on, to the idea that there are many that want a living wage for doing very little in terms of productivity?
