also, note that minimum wage laws don't actually eliminate ALL work at less than the cut off ; charity volunteering at $0 exists
...but the actual world of employment is not crisply bifurcated into doing well and doing good ; it's a sliding scale, and it overlaps

You can work at a company selling science textbooks at any wage over $15/hr
...and you can work at a company selling Catholic textbooks at $0/hr or at > $15/hr
kind of odd that you can't semi-volunteer at a semi-firm

so you're saying that people who WANT to work for $9/hr (e.g. moms with school age kids, who prize flexibility) would be happier, and society would be "improved" if you were able to legislate their jobs out of existence?
How, exactly? https://twitter.com/FahadMAlam/status/1350533930231840768

also, follow on question: you'd prefer that a business that can afford $9/hr wages but can't afford $15/hr SHOULD go out of business (see top of thread). How does that "improve society" for the business owner and everyone else?
Are we all better off w him at Walmart?

ok, so "work" is either "needed" or "not needed", a boolean?
there's no sliding scale, where someone might STRONGLY want to work at X wage and SLIGHTLY like to work at Y wage?

If a mom who WANTS to work at $9/hr, but doesn't need to is laid off (bc you've been elected president and can interfere w her private decisions), which items in her household budget should she cut?
Annual vacation?
Or do you have a different preference on what she cuts?

question for @FahadMAlam:
since @Kenneth_St_Cyr is earning less than a "living wage", and yet somehow WANTS this job, when should be be laid off, and what part of his household budget should he cut?
