Maybe, just maybe if the states did that there would be less minimum wage paying jobs overall and we wouldn’t have to hear complaints about how paying people higher than a slave wages would destroy the economy?

I know you're picking on me but I'm under a province wide salary freeze for the last 6 years, which itself is another problem. Let's freeze salaries but raise minimum wage.
Yes, it's garbage I can only pay accountants so much and even then they go to the big four for less, pretty much interning to get the big firm on their resume. The only thing I can offer is free education. But all that is another issue.
I agree with you, Republican states have terrible economic policies for the rich. $7 minimum wage is criminal. But the bigger issue is the workforce backlog and there's really no solution for it.
