Sorry but that's moving the goalposts to safety nets. We're not talking about that. Minimum wages still cause many of those negative human outcomes (chronic unemployment, lower mobility, rural towns full of unemployed people, and so on) even with safety nets. Safety nets + no minimum wages would provide a much better humanitarian outcome than safety nets + minimum wages. And even if it didn't (which it does) this ideology is still responsible for significant human suffering and racist outcomes in the US right now, and is being pushed by zealots irrespective of this suffering. This is fairly typical of ideologies, no matter the actual human toll, the ideological vision must come first. I suggest you to visit a town that has faced factory closures and see the actual human toll to make this all a little less abstract. Leaving the discussion here, my friend.
