The "fight for $15" has gone on for so long that it should be $20 by now for what $15 was worth when the "fight for $15" started, like $30/hr if the fucking thing kept up with productivity and inflation since the 70's, and wages are bullshit anyway
There's also the fact that Biden isn't saying $15/hr tomorrow. These bills always end up being "$15/hr by the end of the decade/5years" etc.
Plus yeah, like you said, retail chains, fast food, other low wage work will just cut hours, use gig labor, invest in kiosks. This is a a good thing, but wages ain't going up.
too bad we live in a capitalism and we’ve been asking for $15 for 8 years at this point
and now that I get it some robot fuck is about to steal my job

If we’re honest it should be $30. But I think about those people making $2-8 hour and this makes a huge change in their life.
