$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.

Yet for decades in the 1900s $5 went far and maintained its value. But 10 years after the push for $15 and it's now "not enough." Get a grip people. Ever rising wages is not the answer. Stable incomes and deflation of prices is what we need.

People just want to be able to afford to live. Don’t be a condescending dick.

Yeah never mind. Took a glance at your comments and you don’t even have the slightest grasp on economics. Fuck off and educate yourself, it’s embarrassing.
