If I hire someone for $25 to mow my lawn, should that be fine if they get it done in 1 hour, but I have to pay them $50 if they are slow and it takes two hours?

That’s a different argument than how much the minimum wage is. You would have the same problem with a $9 minimum wage or a $25 one.

Yes, I was responding to an argument for the minimum wage, not the amount. If offered $9, no one would do the work.

You should be allowed to negotiate a reasonable single price for a project with a known and fixed scope, regardless of how long it takes.
