      There is no compelling substantive argument against the minimum wage: the economic literature suggests few negatives effects AND it's very very popular politically. Capital doesn't like it: that's it. That's the story, here.

      I’m persuaded by the (many) critiques that that was too high. I think there’s a pretty strong argument for it, *even if* the estimate is correct.

      I do think the development of the literature over the last ten years should probably imbue the discussion of the trade-offs with some more humility.

      A bit of both/and, though. The literature has shown that the trade-offs are, in many cases - Not all! - less than theory and previous models would suggest. We’ve seen this in other domains (government deficits crowding private investment for instance.)

      I mean at some level, everyone’s talking their book on this, progressives want a higher minimum wage, conservatives largely don’t. But I do think those pushing for hike have been boosted by both studies and real world experiments.

      What makes no sense whatsoever is a nationwide minimum wage in a nation with labor markets as diverse as the United States, only 1% of fulltime adult workers making the minimum, & most of them in immobile service jobs.

          Well done. Basically what's been accomplished by squashing national minimum increases over the last 40-50 years is making some states little pockets of the third world. It makes sense, but only from a limited point of view that would be thrilled with that outcome.

          You realize the reason so few people making minimum wage work full time is because their jobs won't give them full time hours, right? That's an argument in favor of a higher floor, not against

          National speed limits seem to work, at least they establish a guideline.

          The number of full time adult workers making exactly $7.25 is much less relevant a data point than the number of full time adult workers making *below* $15. The CBO scored this number at 17 million workers in 2025.
