Obviously it won’t happen. If it did happen, then the price of everything will dramatically increase thereby offsetting the wage gain, but causing chaos, supply chain disruptions, massive inflation, layoffs and more in the interim - until the dust settles. Which would take years.

If a state does this the cost of everything from a hamburger to a head of lettuce will jump 2 to 2.5x overnight. The state would empty out and it’s economy would collapse within 2-3 months. It would be actual mayhem.

It’s not as if Democrats keep their campaign promises once they are in office.

The Democrats don’t give a shit about the youth. The reason they push for higher minimum wages is because many union contracts are pegged to the minimum wage. Raise the minimum wage in raise union wages. They’re looking out for their own.

It would be interesting. Realistically I bet it would put a McDonald’s burger about $40. Super size is $60. Truer than I wish to imagine.
To: E. Pluribus Unum
As Thomas Sowell pointed out, the true minimum wage is zero. Well, no. Some people pay for permission to come to work.
It's long been a practice among certain Los Angeles theater companies, and low budget films, to sell parts to actors as a way of raising production funds. There have even been companies built on that business model.
Essentially, actors paying for the chance to work. In hopes of being seen, and discovered, and then being hired for money.

So apparently she’s for $30 gallons of milk & $50 eggs. Got it.

In effect, a price support for illegals working off the books.
No jobs for poorer Americans.
