Because the question is stupid on its face. If thing X is good, 1000x X must be good too is such a stupid fucking mentality. It doesn't apply to literally anything. Vitamin C is good. Too much is toxic. Sun exposure is good. Too much is toxic. Drinking water is good. Too much is toxic. Such a basic fucking concept that exists across basically everything in our society.

Yet here you are stating that because a higher minimum wage is good, it must be more good to make the minimum wage "a million an hour" too right? Which doesn't follow at all based on literally any other example of things that are "good". It's mind-numbingly stupid. It's a ridiculous straw-man made by someone either disingenuous or ignorant.
