I am against a federal minimum wage because, well, CoL is different everywhere. That being said, the federal minimum wage was introduced at $0.25 an hour, or a little over $4 an hour by today's money. The federal minimum wage is currently about in the middle of the two extremes adjusted for inflation of $4 and about $11. I'm okay with that.
All of that being said, if states and/or localities want to do something different, all the blessings upon them. But the federal minimum wage should not be increased. It honestly should be lower or not exist at all and let the states and locals do their own thing with it.
