And why would or should it?
Why should some schlub pushing the cheeseburger icon at McDonald’s make as much or more money as a police officer in a very small agency, say, in a poor area of the American southeast?
The answer is:
The “minimum wage” was intended to be an introductory wage, wherein the person first encountering an official and organized work environment for the very first time would be able to begin to understand how the working world functions.
It was never intended to be any sort of “living wage.”
The point was to bring more young, fledgling persons into the working environment and, under this aegis, affirm some sort of national wage for the basic introductory worker. So that one person washing a car in Virginia acquires the same essential wage as a person washing a car in New Mexico. Or that two persons pushing the CHEESEBURGER icon at McDonald’s get the same wage from coast-to-coast. An “entry-level” wage.
But between points A and B, the wage simply — somehow — became “unfair.”
To call Sen Warren an idiot is an insult to idiots. Somewhere, a village is missing its female idiot.
Because the wage insults the mentality of some jobs, the skills required for some jobs, the repetition of some jobs, the physicality of some jobs, the levels built into some jobs.
Why should an Arby’s drone in San Francisco, with UOY KCUF tattooed into their forehead make more than a clean diligent worker in Georgia at the same job?
But why should a car wash job or a McDonald’s job be an actual “living wage?”

Country folks might say she is smart as a whip without a lick of common sense.
Like most Leftists, “well educated” — but they have actually LEARNED little.

Look in your Funk and Wagnall’s for the definition of IDIOT and/or MORON, they have her picture…
I could have sworn I saw her on a milk carton about 20 years back. . .

Education, good grades in school, even intelligence do not make a person able to function properly in society. This self-labeled American Indian senator is a good example of this and don’t bother arguing with her as it will be a waste of time. The voters in Massachusetts are the real idiots as they are the ones who elected her.
As most people with common sense know, she’s as much an Indian as I am a leafy houseplant.
