Not sure where to discuss this, about the Federal min wage topic

If this is the wrong forum, kindly let me know and I will remove my post and post in whatever appropriate forum you suggest

The $15/hr or $12.85/net min wage was discussed in 2012, 9 years ago

Phasing that in in 3 years will make it equivalent to what it has been.

Housing and healthcare costs have risen from 2012 to 2021. Tripled

So a person on min wage cant afford to rent an avg 1BR

Some employees on low wages $8-$10/hr a month or less were eligible for SNAP benefits. Most definitely if they had a child

And some were eligible for Medicaid. Most States don't offer that to adults who have no children

$15/hr or $12.85 net will make everyone ineligible for SNAP and Medicaid

$8-$10/hr and SNAP and Medicaid

$15/hr ($12.85 net) no SNAP, no Medicaid

How is $15 better?

To make an impact it should be $20-$22/hour

No one in any major Metropolitan area can rent a 1BR on $15/hr $30,000/year
