Hilarious, $15 is dogshit considering how fucking bad inflation is. I can't imagine starting out right now with the intention of being able to settle down, get married, have kids and buy a house within ten years. Absolutely no chance, unless you go into the trades maybe and journey out without being $50k+ in debt like idiots that are still going to school.
There's a distinct lack of big-boy jobs paying real wages. Fast food shouldn't pay $15, but that's the kind of jobs that are out there.
Even skilled jobs refuse to pay a decent wage.
Meh, I'm a commercial electrician making $70 an hour plus $30 an hour in benefits. The money is in the trades for now. Until that merry go round stops, turning its a safe bet.
