The talk from Biden is making the federal minimum wage $15 which would then require every state whose minimum wage is lower than $15 to be bumped up to $15.
Actually I am quite aware there is a federal minimum wage. My point was that states are already setting their own, in response to Bfritz contention that was an amazing Trump idea.
