Maybe since theminimum wage concept has lost it's true purpose there will be another new level, or entry level or trainee level or pre minimum wage level that allows a company to hire those who do not need to be paid $15 and eventually have more of them and less of the big $ help. The entrepenurial survival spirit will kick in and find a way around paying too much for minimal training level work.....which is why it used to be minimum wage......which has all been forgotten.
What you say makes a lot of sense. Blanket doubling the minimum wage may be noble but a bad idea and work arounds would abound. One thing though, going five and ten years at a time with no raise in the minimum wage opens the door to these fixes.
