[High Praise! to Spootville]

Logical arguments:

“Minimum wages are stupid”
“The minimum wage should be hugely high”

If you are not going to make one of those two arguments, then you must be admitting that the reason your proposed minimum wage is not higher is because having it too high would hurt the economy. And so you’ve settled on an arbitrary number.

Can it be any other way? Are there any arguments for $15 that you couldn’t use for $1 million without admitting that minimum wages harm the economy?
