First off while, I was writing this article, I had Robot Parade by They Might be Giants stuck in my head the whole time.

I’ve been reading a lot of economists deriding a higher minimum wage and they’ve got me a bit riled up (here’s a very small selection).

• An Open Letter to Arindrajit Dube
• If Government Can Work Miracles…
• Alex Tabarrok on Price Floors and the Minimum Wage

Where I live in Minneapolis there is an annual May Day Parade. After the parade they have a free speech section. Every year I’ve watched the parade the group Fight for $15 has marched.
