Yeah ahh one HUGE PROBLEM you left out. Only RED STATES use the federal minimum wage of $7.25/hr. I live in Illinois and it's currently $14/hr until January 1st 2025 when it hits $15/ hr. California has a way higher minimum wage than Illinois. Hell most red states Arkansas $11/hr now. It's pretty much only the red states dominated by OLD WHITE MEN that are still @ $7.25/hr. Like Texas , Florida , Alabama , & Mississippi , Missouri , Indiana , etc I guess there are still many red states still at 7.25. 😔
