Seattle to increase min wage to $15/hour

[Zundfolge]

Seattle will be an interesting model to watch fail.

This could be the silver lining ... Seattle's experience will be enough of a (rhymes with "Buster Duck") that maybe we can kill this minimum wage nonsense once and for all.

Wishful thinking, but that's working on the assumption that liberals are keen enough on learning that lesson... Scientists have concluded that the logic and reasoning portion of the Liberal Brain is grossly underdeveloped. Look at what they're doing to the school system in America: "Throwing money at the problem isn't fixing it, so we'll just throw more money at it until it gets fixed."

Yes. I predict they will pass something that offers a little less than the $15 they're proposing, and when their economy fails, they will insist it was because they did not get the $15 minimum they originally wanted. They will then increase it again.
As Ronin stated, this is their plan, and it has been played many times over because it works - in the sense that they eventually get what they want in spite of the consequences of their failed ideas.
