I like sharing my on again, off again side project, CyFHIR. https://github.com/Optum/CyFHIR In healthcare there are a set of open standards for data, messaging, integrating, etc called FHIR. I recognized the unstructured nature of those data standards as graph-like and made this Neo4j plugin for handling FHIR data at the db level. You can import FHIR data directly with optional structural validation and export that data back to json. A graph of the data lets you analyze connections between resources and you can do things like patient similarities on medical histories using graph data science.

Came here to agree with this, there are laws against the federal government setting discriminatory minimums like this. In the eyes of just about any federal judge the original suggestion would get the entire bill shot down. Also people in this thread talking about how they think this is fair based on experience or cause "teens are stupid" thats entirely misguided of you all to think, there are kids who start working in some states LEGALLY at 14.5 years old, example: N.C. so when they are 16 or 17 they can legally be paid the same 'juvenile' minimum wage? No fast food company or grocery store will actively pay them more if they don't have to and that means less raises and how would all these companies even be monitored and audited for the crossover on ones 18th birthday? What about kids who are emancipated for their parents/legal guardians? What about kids who drop out of school and work? Do they all deserve to make less just because of their age? Geez, the actual obliviousness of people on this site is astonishing sometimes.
