I think you've misunderstood egypturnash's comment here. They're saying that if the $15 dollar minimum wage proposed in 2010 had been adjusted for inflation since then, it would now be equivalent to $18.22. If you check an inflation calculator, $15 in 2010 is equivalent in purchasing power to $18.22 in 2021. The argument is not that the actual minimum wage of 2010 would now be equivalent to $18.22 today.
