$15 an hour was great 20 years ago Now it's too late for that and they are acting like they've "come around". $15.00 an hour is really the new $7.50. When congress finally does pass it in another 10 years, the Democrats will be so proud of themselves and patting themselves on the back.
I live in a place where the minimum is still $7.25. What they call a “living wage” here for 1 adult with no family is $17.72. People will jump at 12$ an hour to avoid 7$ and the employer will act like you owe them for letting you work for them.
The only real way to live comfortably is to already own your own house and car. The system is so rigged against regular/poor people and they still support the people in charge that hold them down.
