We should have a $25 minimum wage
Depressing to see so much vitriol in here for an idea to improve living standards for people who earn less.  The argument that cost of living will somehow increase in linear proportional lockstep with minimum wage increases is nonsense.<p>Abolishing minimum wage opens the door for horrendous exploitation of people, the labour in the market are not perfect rational actors and businesses will exploit this where possible.  A liveable baseline is really important.<p>We are mostly all commenting from the privilege of skilled labour and all the freedoms and benefits that come with that.
