Minimum wage here is $12.00 now. Fast food pays "adults" $18.00.

Cities where the cost of living is high should have the flexibility to raise wages above the state minimum to a degree. And I also have no issue with workers organizing or resigning to get a better deal with some restrictions on "critical" workers.

Yeah $12 is low, especially with things costing more lately. I just worry about the effect of raising minimum wage, especially to something like $27 like the video proposed, on already rising prices
