minimum wage is a big topic right now and I'd like to see everyone's ideas.
The CPI is a measure of inflation and emulates a cost of living index. So your statement is the equivalent of saying “As the degrees Celsius moves up, it normally does so in face of temperature or a rise in heat.” Doesn’t make any sense.Ideally, minimum wage would be largely dictated by national inflation, consumer price index (CPI) and the national cost of living in the US. As the CPI moves up, it normally does so in face of inflation or a rise in cost of living.
Well that’s not true. The CPI certainly has gone down. Long run, yes, it trends higher (which is good), but it has gone down many times.Inflation and the CPI ALWAYS creep upwards. They may level off, but they NEVER go backwards.
Not having a minimum wage would cause a race to the bottom. Employers speak with one voice but employees are disorganized.Really the market should determine minimum wage.
I disagree with a flat national minimum wage because not all area's are equal.
by artificially increasing the minimum wage the government hurts places that can't actually support
itself. it also falsely increases prices more than what some people can afford lowering their pay checks.
if a state wants to increase their minimum wage then at least the voters can decide and should decide.
that way small town USA doesn't get busted and go broke.

There's no need to rise minimum wages as long as people like to work on multiple jobs, right? So you can work all the time and have enough money if you get sick, etc.. flawless system.
Just get a better paying job.
Having a conversation honestly about "minimum" wage would begin with updated and modernizing our understanding of GDP.
there is no evidence to support this argument. Without a minimum wage workers can work and negotiate their labor fairly. employers will not race to the bottomNot having a minimum wage would cause a race to the bottom. Employers speak with one voice but employees are disorganized.
then a 15 minimum wage is not needed. the minimum wage is fine where it is since statesThere should be a national MW and the states can have higher ones.
The MW also drives supervisory salaries higher. In a country in which the top has grabbed a larger and larger share of national income, the MW is essential.

Ideally, adopt the Scandinavian approach: no minimum wage, but strong general/global unions that consistently negotiate an hourly that's greater than the iconic $15: 5 Developed Countries without Minimum Wages
