Minimum wage is not a good thing. People are paid by what the economy dictates.

Minimum wage laws can have both positive and negative effects on the economy. In some instances, increasing the minimum wage may help low-income workers afford basic necessities and stimulate the economy due to the additional consumer spending. At the same time, some employers may respond to increased costs by laying off workers, or by scaling back employee hours or benefits. Overall, the effects of minimum wage laws are complex and depend greatly on the specific details of each situation.
