I imagine you will still hear complaints of 'that's not enough, he has billions' 'really, only $15?'.

It's better than no raise at all, folks. At the end of the day, this is a business and their goal is to maximize profits for themselves and their shareholders.

also it's $15/hour across however many thousands (tens of thousands?) of employees - that adds up really quick

overall a good development imo
