It occurred to me that biggest reason I like the a large minimum wage increase is because Settlers of Catan is boring as fuck when there's one person doing astronomically better than everyone else. I don't really know much else about it, but I do like the idea that at least some places are trying it so we can see how it actually plays out.

The reigning champ in my mental model is this Marketplace piece on the radio about a mall pretzel franchise that doubled its income since the raise. I'm definitely biased towards the NPR radio style, something where they suggest that something is going a direction but it's always too inconclusive to say for sure.
