You’re talking about the Davis-Bacon act, not the federal minimum wage law. That doesn’t negate the importance of setting a minimum wage (and ideally keeping it consistent with the rate of inflation/deflation to preserve the spending power of the minimum wage)

You know what lowered the black unemployment. Trump in office. Amazing how republican policies beat racist policies

We’re not talking about black unemployment, we’re talking about the minimum wage in California. You’re pivoting to avoid admitting you’re wrong.
