It gives gullible low wage earners a warm feeling and allows dishonest political hacks to say they are caring. But these voters are getting NOTHING out of this deal.
The point of min wage is not those getting it.
Unions index their wage scales to it (in part) so a rise in min is an automatic. Un collectively bargained for raise.
Plus if you nudgw the bottom tier up, the next tier goes 'what about us ?', and the next tier, and the next tier etc.
And inflation settles it out so nobody wins, everybody loses.
