This is less than double what the minimum wage is now. How about hiring half as many people, but hire folks who are twice as efficient?

I will be a minority of one with my thought about this. Raising the minimum wage to $15 so quickly is too much, too soon. Maybe to $12 an hour over a two year interval. Also there should be COLAs on Social Security. Why? Increased minimum wage and Social Security COLAs are money that goes almost 100% directly into the local economy. It would be the quickest way to boost economic activity.

You’re not getting COLAs for Social Security because the biggest population is aging into Social Security.

Welcome to socialism.
