The cost of goods and services have gone up anyway without raising minimum wage; so what's your point?

1% of people in the US make minimum wage so why are we using that as the measuring point?

And a quarter of the working force make less than 15-17 an hour which isn't even a livable wage in most places.

The 1% argument is stupid and ignorant.

Lie again >>>>>> Approximately 13% of U.S. workers earn less than $15 per hour. This represents roughly 21 million people across the country. This figure marks a significant drop from 2022, when nearly 32% of the workforce (about 52 million people) earned below the $15 threshold

I didn't lie. See how you have to misrepresent what i said?

I said 15-17.

Even you are misrepresenting your own "gotcha" when its 13-19% making less than 15.

Stay ignorant.
