It's strange because the announcement is the reward in politics, not the outcome. A politician scores political points by announcing reparations, gun control, lowering crime, helping the homeless, lowering gas prices, being sanctuary cities and so on.
The outcomes don't matter because it takes years before anyone ever questions it. By then, they're out of office.
In this case, the announcement is $30 per hour minimum wage! Wow! Great, the politician gets credit for that. The outcome makes no difference.
