Well, if you are a minimum wage restaurant worker and you lose your job now that it’s $15/hour, you’ll have to switch to doing the next best thing:
Get elected as a ‘Rat congresscritter.

Oh, they aren’t ignorant of market forces, they just don’t care. They’re Communists.
Don’t give them anymore credit then they are due.

The government has no right to set a maximum or minimum hourly rate. No other considerations are relevant.

Here’s the bright side to losing your $15/hr. McDonalds job: now when you file for unemployment, you can report your earnings were $15/hr and you’ll collect commensurate with that rate. /sarc

Communists have DO NOT CARE about market forces.
I think they care, they just think that market forces can be overcome by diktat. When this fails, as it always does, they blame ‘outside forces’, ‘wreckers’, ‘kulaks’, ‘counter revolutionaries’—see Venezuela for current example.

They know much about market forces, they just don’t care. Not only do they get to champion a “win”, the unemployment and misery it creates will bring more people to “The Cause”.
Has no one actually read Lenin or Alinsky?
