      It disincentives gaining skills that can only earn less than 40k a year.

      You’re looking at this backwards. It essentially would make a business compete with every other minimum wage job if all they’re offering is $20/h. They either raise wages to lure skilled workers, or try to provide some other benefits.

      Is that what teevee to you?

      Real issue that this is not a universal wage increase. I don’t get why it is only for “fast food” workers
