Oft-missed aspect:
Up to $15/hr, one gets generous entitlements/freebies.
Above $15/hr, those entitlements rapidly vanish, causing a net DROP in total effective income.
The total salary+benefits doesn’t break even again until about $36/hr.

Maybe the “push for 15” is being quietly dropped because it slams into the limits of Leftist redistributionism.

I would like to see you document those figures. I think you just made them up.

Obviously those limits need to be raised. /s
