We must return to following the rules. We have to find another way of passing wage increases.

Oh, right...and be just as lawless as prior thug potus &gop? Yes to $15/hr, but do it lawfully; not through reconciliation. S/b agreement hammered out w/ gop. Otherwise spend untold hundreds of thousands fighting it in court...

The problem with the "min. wage" provision of the Bill is in how the "increase" is framed. Specifying a dollar amount doesn't work. However, specifying a "rate of increase" or linking the min. wage with inflation or GDP growth could justify inclusion in "Budget Reconciliation".

Ms. Ocasio-Cortez: you are not in the Senate. You are perilously close to being guilty of the moral superiority of the uninvolved. Stay in your lane or run for Senate and win.
