Im a college student and was working a minimum wage type of job pre-covid (around $12/hr). I was technically blocked from receiving merit increases (which were only $0.15) because CA has $15 minimum wage in the pipeline. $15 minimum wage DOES NOT encourage good employees.
Not only that but people who do not live within their means will not no matter what you raise the minimum too. People will get used to $15 as the baseline and start living off $20 and say $15 just isn't enough. Meanwhile many of them are not even worth $1. Illegal labor is just going to increase and it almost seems like that is the plan.
This, I use to have sympathy for poor people but after seeing how awful people are with their money I no longer feel that way. I would wager a majority of the time a person barely gets by due to their own financial stupidity than muh poor dealt hand.
Live within your means and avoid debt like that plague, that’s the path to wealth and freedom from lenders.

Money spent drives the economy. Velocity of money and all that.
