So when is minimum wage going up? Maybe next month, maybe next year. But the real question is: why does it matter? Because it’s a tiny experiment in fairness, played out in real time.

Next time you grab a cheap coffee, remember that someone made that coffee possible. If they get a raise, maybe they’ll be a little less grumpy at 6 AM. And honestly, isn’t that worth a few extra cents on your latte? Think about it.
