Well maybe we should ... but I don't really like the argument that it takes
a medium to long term problem and makes it a short term problem and that's a good thing. I do think population growth + AI and automation is already a combo poised to wreak havoc on employment ... adding a catalyst like doubling the minimum wage is so objectively a bad idea, it makes you question the judgement of anyone who suggests it. We can probably get away with it in small slices of the country with astronomical costs of living, but as national policy it would be devastating, yes.
