Sounds a lot like price control doesn’t it?
“Minimum wage laws are unfortunately constitutional.”
Mind giving a hint as to how?
In 1940 the US Supreme Court ruled in United States v Darby that the Federal minimum wage is constitutional. There’s little chance of that precedent being reversed, so a constitutional amendment is needed. I’d like an amendment that bars the government from setting a minimum wage or maximum price for anyone or anything.

Kind of like what was said of Roe v Wade?
P.S. Thanks for the reference.
United States v Darby was an issue of interstate commerce regulation, claiming the feds had an interest in labor to prevent one State from having some kind of unfair labor advantage over another. I can easily see how the States are clawing back their 10th Amendment rights, and while some States are raising minimum wages to ridiculous levels, that Darby could be overturned as an overreach and a violation of State’s rights.
No, Roe v Wade was a subject of continual outrage, unlike US v Darby.
And even if the federal minimum wage is ever held unconstitutional on 10th amendment grounds, that leaves all the state and local minimum wage laws which do even more damage. We need a constitutional amendment to take all our governments out of the price-setting game that made Venezuela what it is today.
Yes, we need lots of work on the constitution to limit the feds since the original intent has been lost.

States are beginning to assert their rights and powers. Our Founding Fathers intended states to be an entrepreneurial market place, competing with ideas.
There are hints of this in our future. The satellite countries of the Soviet Union also reestablished their sovereignty from the heavy central govt. We need to look to them for some ideas. Anyone remember Lech Walesa? and the many unnamed individuals behind him.

Single story and small yard. Your neighbor within touching distance.
I think the MW has been before SCOTUS 3 times and found Constitutional.
Marginally constitutional. They had to mangle the interstate commerce clause to get to it, just like they did in Roe v Wade.
watch as lost Angeles starts to ship send people to apple valley and to Bakersfield for health care. you also will find that old folks’ homes for the poor will close down.

Why don’t they just put a padlock on hospital doors, and be
done with it?
SEIU is one of the more malignant unions, and powering this “equity’ cost push. Just part of inflation in the era of America’s fall.
