- You can’t go lower than minimum wage. Those making minimum wage would benefit the most.
- Companies still have to keep competitive salaries to maintain a workforce. If they lower their salaries they risk losing employees who can choose to go somewhere that doesn’t lower salaries.
- It won’t cost employers anything to keep the same salary. This money would presumably be coming from reallocations of taxes that are currently being collected. For the employer it’s like getting a free raise for their employees.

I knew there were circumstances where someone could be paid less than minimum wage but damn…we have a purpose made rule for people with disabilities? It makes me question the places I know have a tendency to hire people with mental disabilities. Did they do it to be kind? Or did they do it to have cheaper labor to go collect shopping carts?
