I've seen it.
When an employer must pay every employee a minimum of $15 per hour regardless of duties a funny thing happens. Something we haven't seen in a long time.
Suddenly that employer has a word on his mind. That word is "merit".
When he or she must pay employees $15 per hour they start looking for actual competency. They start to look for reliability. They start to look for people who show up on time.
And they start firing people who do not meet those standards.
The whole thing is a hat tip to meritocracy. Many will be shut out of the work force but seeing leftists promote employment based upon merit is wonderful. Of course they don't know they are promoting the meritocracy but I think it will become apparent to them a few years down the line.
When the leftists perceive the unintended results of their work I think the next push will be something like "you must hire everyone who applies in the order of application" or some other drastic measure to ensure that you cannot hire based upon competency.
Tonight though the issue appears to be mute because the Senate Parliamentarian has declared that Uncle Joe cannot raise the minimum wage as part of the Covid Relief Bill.
So far Joe Biden has done nothing but issue Executive Orders and has not passed a single law through Congress. Yeah, that first 100 days LOL.
