IMO if this just becomes a round-about way to raise the minimum wage, I'm all for it.

I hear a lot of talking heads explaining that there's more jobs posted now than ever but people just don't want to do them. Therefore, we should cut unemployment benefits. My take on it is... how about instead, they raise wages?

It's really strange to hear the exact same talking heads decry that wages have remained stagnant for decades. It's not like the stick is the only mechanism we have to incentivize behavior.

[edit] Labor market prices are a function of supply and demand; a good way to raise wages is to constrain supply. This is a nice way to do that, IMO.
