hot economic take 

Minimum wage is a shitty basic income program that only covers people with jobs, at the expense of employers.

I’d rather we have basic income and no minimum wage. When “unemployed” doesn’t mean “starving and homeless”, it’s a valid competitor to “terrible underpaying job” and suddenly wages will correlate somewhat with suckitude of a job
