The Left has no answers, but it has identity politics and thus America gets this Charlottesville disaster.

I guess from Catherine Pugh’s perspective the “Fight for $15” is good politics, but bad policy.

The government has no right to set a minimum or maximum hourly pay rate. All other questions are irrelevant.

Last line of the article:
"The only mystery is why so many on the left — who always claim to be guided by science — refuse to admit this scientifically validated truth."

Just another lie the Democrats tried and failed. That they destroyed the lives of the dumb bastards that believed them is not important to them because the ends always justify the means to them.

Minimum wage is debtor’s prison redux: if you can’t produce enough, you’re not allowed to produce at all.

The “Fight for $15” reminds me of Olympic bobsledding. If one just gives it a nudge, gravity will get it to the bottom. If one “pushes it real good”, it hits bottom that much faster....

Oft-missed aspect:
Up to $15/hr, one gets generous entitlements/freebies.
Above $15/hr, those entitlements rapidly vanish, causing a net DROP in total effective income.
The total salary+benefits doesn’t break even again until about $36/hr.
Maybe the “push for 15” is being quietly dropped because it slams into the limits of Leftist redistributionism.

Minimum wage is affirmative action for pay checks and doesn’t work.

The intent of the $15 minimum wage was not to help waitresses and char women. The $15 minimum wage drive was to induce wage inflation to pay for Obamacare.
An increase in wages and salaries would mask and hide the impact of ever increasing health care insurance.
Now that Obamacare is moribund, dying, there is no reason to beat that dead horse
as is common, what appears to be isn’t
