  1. Maybe Gov. Moonbeam could get Mexico to raise their min-wage to a morally satisfying $15/hour. The Mexicans would cheer, right?

  2. The Australian minimum wage is misleading (as are the memes that fly around regarding it). Australia has two different minimum wages -- one for adults, and one for teenagers which is significantly lower (and in line with U.S. minimum wage).

      A policy which is also a TACIT admission that the minimum wage negatively affects job prospects for the unskilled (i.e. the teenagers)
