Maybe it was the rain or it could have been the recent news about how a higher minimum wage will force business to use automation but yesterday’s “Fight for $15” protests in Illinois severely underwhelmed. Expecting 8,000 people, less than a fifth of that number showed up to call for a higher minimum wage. With the […]
