Default City of Chicago Mandates a Living Wage for workers.

Story Here

I completely disagree with the implementation of this to only Big Box Stores like Walmart of course. But it will be interesting to see if the implementation of this in a big city like Chicago will actually cause all these stores to leave, as all the minimum wage doomsayers were predicting on this board a few months ago, or whether, as I predicted, most stores will simply stay and raise prices a little. (It doesn't seem like having a living wage had the dire predicted consequences in Santa Fe, Albuquerque, San Francisco, and Washington).
