This is simply buying votes. It's a terrible idea. > Ultimately, he said, it would distort the labor market. This is exactly what is wrong with the government pandering to sub-interest groups. Let the free market decide, and only implement some very light, universal, guardrails. Already the CoL factor has made so many policies make no sense. $5 an hour in place that has $200K houses is better than $15 an hour where they start at $800K, but the former person is treated as "poorer" by the government.
