I’m a firm supporter of a minimum wage. I just think it should be what the market will bear and set by employers.

Only teenagers make minimum wage. Therefore the whole debate is a waste of time.

Some people are going to discover the minimum wage is $0/hour this month. Many businesses have been trying to soften the blow by cutting hours instead of employees. That can only go so far before you have to drop some employees so those who remain can earn enough.
