because the bottom line of the federal one is the one that matters. states can change their own mind wage to whatever they want at any time but they can't dip below the federal minimum wage. if ohio decided that their minimum wage was going to be $100per hour would that fucking matter at all to someone living and working in florida you absolute moron? and then guess what a week later ohio could decide it wanted to set it's min wage back down to 7.25 because in hindsight 100 was too much. and they could do that as often and as wildly as they wanted but they couldn't set it below the federal minimum. so no you are still the retard in this exchange and the other poster was right about you. don't chime in with your drain dead take next time and save yourself the embarrassment.
