Minimum wage is for high-school and college kids to make a few extra bucks. Not a living wage.
It's a lever against inflation. Raising it wrecks economies and actually works to lower the value of normal living wages as prices catch up.
The answer is to create more living wage jobs, so grown women don't have to work at McDonalds.
Which is exactly what President Trump is down by bringing manufacturing back.
