Why hasn't every minimum wage increase caused businesses to crash left and right? Where is the evidence that this is actually anything other than opinion?

We have never raised the minimum wage when the economy is in a state of recovery, the oil market had crashed, and another bubble is about to pop.

We have raised minimum wage during many different periods of economic growth or recovery or recession and STILL it has not resulted in mass unemployment. You are skating the issue of this being anything other than opinionated bullshit that we hear constantly from the "job creators" that they cannot "afford" to pay people more and blah blah blah. Get some facts or quit spewing opinionated bullshit as fact.
