Minimum wage is not necessarily a good thing. When you set a minimum wage, you essentially disbar people who cannot reach that wage level from the workforce completely. It hurts the weakest people of the community the worst, and doesn’t matter for the strongest at all.
Living costs is the actual problem there, and that can be fixed by lightening up the governments: e.g. freeing up zoning permits and lower taxation of things essential to the poor.

This is actually an entirely-debunked far-right talking point. Minimum wages help everyone.
