Show-Me Crybaby Small Biz Missouri Minimum Wage Loophole Fact Check

An important talking point in the discussion of the fair wage debate is that in Missouri it doesn't even apply to those people hiring workers lower down the food chain and people who defend old school legal wage theft don't really have a leg to stand on as they wait patiently for robot workers that they also can't afford . . . For edification:

"Due to a Missouri statute, individuals who are employed by a retail or service business whose annual gross volume sales or business done is less than $500,000 are exempt from the state minimum wage law."
