I want #Biden's administration to do well, but this $15/hr #MinimumWage is obviously misguided.

Kills ALL jobs that produce goods that can be sold at $14/hr of production time. Those all go abroad.

Also does NOT help those most in need: the unemployed!

The $15/hr min wage gives the employed more money while making it harder to find employment.

It's almost like a piece of class warfare pitting the employed vs the unemployed: more money to former, darker predicament to latter.

Yang's $1K/mo #UBI adds $6/hr to hourly wages.

#AndrewYang's $1K/mo #UBI gives minimal help to unemployed & a chance to stay afloat, soldier on & keep looking.

Meanwhile it adds $6/hr to wages of the employed, money they DON'T lose with their job!

Does NOT kill jobs, & if funded w #VAT preserves econ competitiveness!
