The problem is less a minimum wage, but in how people seem to be using it to try to hang on to low skill, soon to be automated jobs.

Why isn't the question "why can't I get a higher paid job" instead of "why can't I earn a living wage ringing up groceries by computer"?

This is doubly dumb because it's the white collar jobs that are most likely to be useless, easily automated, and/or outright pernicious.

But to address the points, it's awful hard to get a "better" job when you don't have a degree, your parents don't have extensive connections nor bank accounts, and you're barely making ends meet.
