Minimum wage is de-facto 15, with Amazon offering at least that everywhere. Now we see additional requests for increase. This will never stop. The problem is not with the minimum wage amount, it's with helping people getting off of that, minimum wage should be a temporary stopgap in a person's life. Living on minimum wage sucks hard, no matter the amount. If you increase it, you will only have more people living on minimum wage, struggling to make ends meet. At 7.25, a person doing 20 was fine. Now at 15, a person doing 20 is struggling.

This isn't even true statistically: https://www.statista.com/statistics/238997/minimum-wage-by-us-state/ https://www.statista.com/statistics/238997/minimum-wage-by-u... Minimum wage isn't what is driving inflation. It's insane to me that folks think inflation will happen if we increase wages, when it happens regardless of that. It has more to do with the crazy subsidies / handouts we give to the top 1%.
