When everybody gets the $15 per hour in the US - how long do you think it will take for people to say
"I'm not working all that hard, I'm only getting paid minimum wage"

Well, you can't do solo rent with that here.
I think part of the reason people have such differing opinions on $15/hr is that it really doesn't go far depending on where you live. In some places it might be a larger increase, but in many places it's just setting it to what is close to the defacto min wage anyway. McDonald's, Store Cashiers, etc, here, for instance, start at around $15/hr.

@DDonde
Off subject a bit but even if someone has a room mate, any one of us who has ever had a room mate knows that one person usually carries most of the burden while the other one IS the burden.
One works, sells plasma, gets loans, has to ask family for help, etc just to make ends meet.
The other one sits around crying because their crush on Tinder dumped them again.
But for the room mate who contributes NOTHING, somehow they are able to buy stuff from Amazon, several times a week.
