And they'll even try to get a clear conscience by saying "they just need to learn to budget properly". This whole situation reminds me of the congresswoman from California, Katie Porter, questioning the CEO of J.P. Morgan [0]. In my opinion, minimum wage shouldn't be an arbitrary number; it should be linked to each city's cost of living, and perhaps some sort of multiplicative factor based on the metropolitan's area population. This would hold urbanization at bay, and you'd see -- in the long term -- a more balanced spread of cities. [0] https://youtu.be/2WLuuCM6Ej0 https://youtu.be/2WLuuCM6Ej0
