Germany just raised minimum wage. The only news coverage is on how expensive this is for the producers. I don't care.
What I care about is that even this half-assed raise might mean that a parent gets to eat a full meal instead of going hungry for their children, that someone can build an emergency fun, or that someone can move out because they are no longer as financially dependent.
If these were the stories we shared, people might think differently about raising minimum wage.
