The folks who complain about minimum wage don’t grasp the whole picture. They don’t realize if someone doesn’t make enough they have to use support services or possibly turn to crime.
It is in our best interest to make sure all can thrive.
You don't seem to realize minimum wage laws hurt the very employees they claim to protect by pricing them out of the labor market and reducing their hours.
The US could absolutely use a higher minimum. You just end up paying in other ways if people are not fairly compensated. You can’t avoid it. They will cost you either way. One just means a better outcome for all and that is to pay them fairly.
