And yeah, $15 is still too low. 4 years is still too long. But there are still 18M people who make less than $10 an hour and increase the wealth of people at the poverty line by like $20B. Not gonna complain too much on this one.

    The Fight for $15 started in 2012. Assuming an annual inflation rate of 2%, $15 in 2025 will be about $11.60 in 2012 dollars. Meaning, the wage increase is 45% less than what was originally asked for.
