This CBO study says a 15 min wage implemented over 4 years would put 1.4 million out of work.

The $2000 plan give money to 2-3 times as many not affected financially by COVID than to people affected. That takes away from money that can go to those affected. It's also likely putting too much money back into the economy that will have long term downsides, but that's a different argument.
You seem more interested in getting wins for progressive slogans than actually having a government implement policy that helps the most people.
