Hey Nick, can I get 2 or 3 hundred million from you? No? Why not? Put you money where your mouth is.

$16 per hour is mouse nuts.

Make it $36.

Or $44.

Why not $86?

Why not ....?

Why so cheap? Why not make the minimum wage $5000/hr?

Note that the Founding States made the 10th Amendment (10A) to clarify that the Constitution’s silence about things like miminum wage means that such issues are automatically and uniquely state power issues, no business of the federal government’s. So there’s nothing stopping this billionaire from using his influence to successfully campaign a $16 minimum wage in Washington State.

However, there is nothing in the Constitution stopping the states from shooting their feet off as a consequence of foolish use of 10A-protected state powers. So I suppose that the other states can always remove a star from the flag if this billionaire sinks Washington State with his minimum wage idea.
