Some 30 states and the District of Columbia have enacted higher wage floors, and many cities, including Los Angeles, San Francisco and New York City, have adopted higher base pay than their states.

So what's the problem? The minimum wage might be $7.25 in Mississippi but $15.00 in California due to the cost of living. Let the states sort that out.

Blue states ruled by the public employee unions and welfare lobbies do not want red states to have a competitive advantage. This is why leftists demand that every leftist stupidity be nationalized. They call this social justice and basic human rights. The goal is to abolish choice and intra-state competition.

People want a “living wage” for entry level jobs.
All good, let’s make min wage $100/hour.
What possible downside could there be?

(my advice to Harris...I can be her finance czar since I so good with money and pay stuff!)
