The #1 driver of inflation hasn't been government stimulus or supply chain issues, it's been a tight labor market that has driven-up wages.

Unskilled workers may be able to demand $20/hour now, but that won't last through the next recession.  Higher minimum wages elongate and weaken job recoveries, for this reason.
