No need to increase prices if you convert all employees to perma-lancers and then eventually outsource the labor to another country.

Also, this article is written by a Wall Street trader and frequently says things like "A strong cohort of economists believe a national minimum wage increases inflation." I'm not sure if this is the slam dunk you think it is. I'm not even against raising the minimum wage, but worker protections have to be done at the same time or else something's got to give, and it's not going to be profit.
