  Dennis Hackethal criticized idea #6131.

Artists can focus on making art early on when they are starting out.

Imagine a singer in Nashville that is just starting out. If they are able to find a minimum wage that is decent enough for them not to think about having a good place to live and having good meals, they can instead focus on making music.

Those goals are actually more attainable without minimum-wage laws. That’s because minimum wage laws, like most regulations, make it harder to create common preferences (and thus wealth). See #6133.
