From The Young Turks website:
How dare he.
To follow this to its logical conclusion, the implication is: Manchin resists a $15 minimum wage (which is likely stalled for now after the Senate parliamentarian ruled a broader COVID-relief package can’t pass on a simple majority if the provision remains) because a company he partly controls invests in another firm that owns a single hotel that would have to raise wages under the bill. The cost to Manchin would be so great that he’d rather be a party pariah (though pariah-ship has its benefits).
Or, just spit-balling here, the hotel would do what $15-wage opponents warn and slash staff/hours in order to offset the expense of the higher wage, and Manchin wouldn’t feel a thing.
