Is there a compromise to be had on the $15/hr miniumum wage?

20. This feels like a good time to remind everyone that @RepTerriSewell introduced a minimum wage bill..

Is there a compromise that can be done to mollify the Bernie and AOC crowd on the minimum wage or is it an all or nothing proposition?

As we've seen time and time again, the "all or nothing" philosophy never works. Those who espouse this way of thinking always walk away with NOTHING, and for some odd reason, many express pride in making NO PROGRESS at all. It's as though the "effort" is more important than the actual RESULTS. That kind of stubbornness and pride only serves to remain stationary and it preserves the status quo. So why does it seem to be such a popular tactic when it continually fails? Ego? Vanity? I don't know. I think I'd rather compromise and have have a half a loaf (or even a meager SLICE) of bread instead of boasting of my "effort" and delivering an empty plate.

In any case, check this out. We need a different approach, and this looked interesting to me.

This feels like a good time to remind everyone that @RepTerriSewell introduced a minimum wage bill that ties the wage floor to the cost of living and purchasing power of each region. This bill has the support of many moderate swing-district Democrats.
