I wish. They’ll just look to abolish minimum wage entirely. “The free market will enforce a true minimum wage on its own without the need for pesky government interference. If you own your own business and you understand what you’re employees’ labor is worth, then you and you alone should be deciding what to pay your employees. If it’s too low for them to accept, then they will go elsewhere, and somebody who is willing to work for you at that wage will fill the job.”
They will proclaim that your protections are actually chains, and 1/3 of the country will cheer for the “chains” to be removed. Freedom! America! Yay fascism!
Untrue. They’ll find some excuse to lower it. “See! Minimum wage increases make inflation go up! The ONLY way to fix it is to lower the minimum wage!”
