$15 here but everyone still struggles. It should be illegal to pay unlivable wages.

@Rolexeo wouldn't matter if you made $50/hr, market would just inflate to offset the difference... and the margin usually widens even more.

20 years ago when min wage was $8.25, you could buy a car for 20-40k, a house for 300-400k; min wage goes up and now a car costs 50k+, and a house 700k+
