I wonder if workers at the bottom do better overall with a hiked minimum wage? I can see where employers are going to cull the outliers and cut the remaining employees less slack, but I'd bet that -overall- more money flows to the bottom layers.

All I read says they're going up, for sure. Even conservatives are nodding the affirmative. That said, I've not seen anything that says anything realistic proposed to increase the social safety net. Medicare for all isn't realistic, imo, given our current deficit.
