One cannot fix stupid. This proposed policy wil make people open to hire illegal immigrants, who have less rights, for ten dollars and hour. It will not fix a minimum wage - it will create more variation. In other words, the whole 'fair pay' employment project will force the market (moms and pops) underground , if they want to survive.
I don't think the likes of BarbAra LEe have any idea what the plan is. They think money grows on trees (and they would be almost right). They only care about hanging on to their precious job. So saying things like that can perhaps garner some votes by all those people wishing they could get such a lucrative minimum wage. But the whole idea is a fantasy.
The problem with making everyone 'equal' like that is: you have commercial cleaners getting the same wage as, say, building inspectors. That system was tried by the Soviets, in the bad old days. It didn't matter if one was a professor at university or a labourer - all got the same wage. So simple, in terms of accounting and policy. Only what happened, was that nobody had any incentive to study for the more difficult jobs. Of course, that later meant forcing students to study to become doctors or teachers - and that had its own problems.
Even the Chinese are now figuring out that if you allow discretionary choice to individuals, they get markedly better productivity results.
These radicals actually believe that if they decide and decree something, it can happen.
They do not take into account REALITY! They are hence delusional!
They are on a power trip and actually believe they can decree something against the rules of nature, physics, economics, etc.!
I have been noticing this. It struck me reading about the 1848/9 revolution. The revolutionary government in the Pfalz decreed!: FELLOW CITIZENS! To pay taxes and rise up! even if only with newly made scythes! Even Frederick Engels was involved, but wrote a scathingly critical and sarcastic article about the decree to forge scythes throughout the land! Barrels of hand forges scythes with no handles, not being distributed, and the ultimate irony of young revolutionary troops meeting the Prussian artillery and rifles, with scythes!
That is the tendency of radical ideology. They will use all their power to FORCE the implementation of something which cannot work, causing misery and death to thousands and millions.
Flussssssshhhh! The sound of the economy in Barbara Lee's fantasy world.
Well, why not $1,000,000/hr? I mean if she's just picking numbers out of the air without regard to the underlying business model, why not?

In case you haven't noticed, their plan is to destroy the middle class, creating only rich and poor, and eventually only master and slave.

Free market is pretty funny that way.

Lunatic.

No Dim ever studied economics. Their brains can't handle it.
Don't we already have plenty of old, ugly, stupid, corrupt senators in California?
No more, please!
Why not a million?
Surely she has her 'help' either housekeeper, cook, grounds men etc. Lets find out how much she is paying them right now. Put up or shut up.
You want the city POLITICIANS to set the rules for all that?
Which minorities get the government no-bid contracts to build the tiny houses for $300,000 each?
Which "downtrodden" types get to live in the houses (hint: not you)?
Fuck off with the centrally-planned nonsense.
P.S. Nobody WANTS to live in a 300 square foot closet.
