It would seem that the amendment has won the popular vote but failed to gather the sufficient ratification of regions. I'm saddened by this 
My advice to those Regions who cherish their own minimum wages is to watch out for those, who may seek to abolish them. At least, a federal minimum wage would thwart any such attempt, which is why I lament its failure to be ratified

Truth is that a federal minimum wage amendment is less likely to be passed because of the way such legislation can be obstructed from reaching the floor by Senate rules.
Regional minimum wages are easier to pass because only a simple majority is typically required.
