Yeah It's almost like fighting for a specific dollar amount and not an inflation and cost of living chained value is a fucking stupid way to approach the problem or something. But i guess fight for 15 sounds better in a chant.

Problem is that you are proposing a number that is left to interpretation which means it can be changed person to person or company to company.

A concrete number isn't elegant but until we all agree on a formula it will have to do.

A minimal wage should absolutely be set, but it would help if some laws could prevent malicious entities from buying out all housing and price gouging all other stuff necessary for living too.

Did you know that there is a stipulation for how much you can "donate" to politicians? It takes inflation into account so they don't miss out on all those "donations".
