I dunno, we might want to start getting some sources in on this. This is the one article I've seen beforehand that discusses how much economists endorse the idea of a minimum wage ($15/hr specifically) and it casts doubt on your very confident tone. I don't really know what to believe, maybe more polls are necessary.

Also wowww, research that this employment policies institute was involved in might not be the most unbiased source: https://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Employment_Policies_In...

I don't think I was being very confident - there was a reason I said "most?". However I'm fairly certain enough economists agree with the idea of a minimum wage that stating that it's a bad idea as if that's just accepted to be the truth is a little odd.

I sincerely don't know. I have one economist friend and he's iffy on the subject, claiming that minimum wage helps certain low-income groups and hurts other low-income groups. Based on that I don't even think you could categorize him as thinking it's a good or bad idea. That begins to step beyond the realm of economics and into politics or philosophy.
