I see what you're saying but it's kind of pointless if its not a law. The Democrats really should start with passing a $10 national minimum wage and have it go up $1 every two years. This would prevent places like Pennsylvania having a $7 one. Problem is state legislatures not passing laws so the feds have to.

Yeah, the way I phrased it sounds like 6 of one half a dozen of the other. I was being a little cheeky.
It’s a bad idea in of it being the minimum wage everywhere, when the minimum wage should actually be higher in some places. So $15 is great nationally to ensure no one is below it, but some states are going to have to step up and go beyond it to have the same effect. It would be bad if all states just decided that was good enough (just as it would be even worse now if all states were at the federal minimum). Thankfully, there are a few areas even above $15 even despite the federal minimum of $7.25. So I don’t think it’s much of a worry.
