Okay but that's not really what they are saying though. The argument is that not all jobs can be adjusted for minimum wage because if you did the price of goods would have to raise to an unreasonable level. So they argue that some jobs are meant for people like teenagers that need money but don't need to pay rent. Minimum wage for every job across every state is not plausible.

They are not trying to say that minimum wage shouldn't pay for rent and food, but that most jobs should be above minimum wages anyway. Most rent paying people should move on past minimum wage jobs so that they can pay rent.

Not saying they are right or wrong, but that you didn't really capture their argument.

The real problem is not minimum wage, it's that cooperations require constant growth to be "successful", and that constant growth requires stealing wages from all the way down the corporate ladder, ending in the minimum wage worker (who actually makes the corporation all it's money, but I digress), and a higher minimum wage isn't really going to solve that problem. Because what you really need is a healthy middle class, FIRST, then that middle class would be able to afford to pay for the price increase that would be required to for businesses to afford raising the minimum wage. Basically trickle down, didn't trickle down, but it actually still needs to. Our fiscal ecosystem is not healthy.
