I'm a bigger fan of UBI than minimum wage. I believe a UBI that will solve many of our ills--as well as re-arrange the workplace.
With some states already having a $15 (or close) minimum wage--and many businesses not able to attract employees at $7.50, raising the federal wage from $7.50 to $15.00 was a no brainer to me. This already proves the donors of the parties are motivated by selfishness.
We--especially the USA--needs to get away from money going into political parties. Follow my byline if you are more interested.
I think you are already a follower. I have a pub with many TDG articles. Medium doesn't seem to like promoting "Tiered Democratic Governance."
