15$ minimum wage

They work multiple jobs because they want luxuries, which is fine. If you want luxuries you have 2 options, work more hours, or make the hours you work worth more.

As it stands, working full time at minimum wage is more than enough to afford the cheapest apartment and groceries and then some. Just do the math.

There’s always going to be people at the bottom of society socioeconomically. Raising the minimum wage provides less incentive for people to increase their worth.

We don’t need to pay the least motivated people in the country more, we need to figure out how to motivate them to want to provide more value to our employers and economy.
