Once it's in place, your only hope is to then nationalize the resources to prevent companies from exploiting them and shipping them elsewhere once it becomes cheaper to do so than pay to process them locally, which will inevitably happen as CoL and inflation increase to keep up with the rising minimum wage.
Col?
Cost of Living

If everyone could agree to a minimum wage, sure
We could maybe stem this problem
But the fact that people are willing to do this shady shit to circumvent it just means it winds up causing more problems than it fixes
I'm not saying that people shouldn't be able to provide for themselves or their families if they work hard
But I don't think a mandated minimum wage is the way to go about it. You're giving people an excuse to cheat the system instead of incentivizing good business practices, and unless you're willing to punish the people cheating the system ruthlessly to ensure they don't, I just don't see it working.
People always have a excuse to cheat the system. If i would work illegally i could probably get 1.5x what i would get legally
But ill admit that im quite on the fence on the issue, well talk about it sometime when im not in the middle of math class
That's fair, man
every time a convo about raising minimum wage happens someone has to say "if we abolished minimum wage"
nobody should be advocating for that
that would be insane
The basic reason why we need it enshrined in law is because there are factors that prevent people from starting businesses—whether that be from governmental regulation or large corporations pushing out competition via buying all the land, etc.
But raising it is another story entirely. There are plenty of jobs in the US that companies can't fill full-time positions because of the regulatory burden (not minimum wage.) Minimum wage is meant to be a stop-gap from abusive company practices, not as an insurance that the worker will be paid money.
Raising minimum wage does two things: incentivizes companies to automate faster & hire fewer full-time workers. New York and Portland raised their minimum wage and it was a fucking disaster.

At the least, minimum wage should be tied to inflation.
Here its tied to the wages of union jobs
Damned dutch and your secret messages
its working goys
The (((plan))) is proceeding apace.
The NPCs may come to a moment of self-realization that they are just that.

"From Venice, to Miami, to Mexico City have been the subject to much media attention in recent years for becoming increasingly submerged by rising sea levels."
You know why I don't like climate change activists? They don't read their own work like every other NPC.
Mexico City? This is a bad meme. It's in the middle of Mexico.
It's sinking because they're digging the water out from under the city that was built on a fucking lake.
I really hate when people get information wrong in the first 20 seconds of their popInfo videos.
Shit like this really gets under my skin, much like how Florida gets under the ocean.
