Federal minimum wage should be increased BUT probably not to something like $15, simply because the economies and costs of living of rural Kentucky are nothing like the economies of urban Seattle. Raise the Federal minimum wage in an amount that the poorest state can manage, but then give States room to implement any further increases to what best fits their circumstances. Edit: Or some formula that takes into account costs of living and size of economy. I also think UBI is a good solution. For example Andrew Yang "Freedom Dividend" $1k per month UBI plan is like getting paid for working an additional 67 hours a month at $15/hour.
