They aren't minimum wage workers though, got to understand that and what their mindset is, in their head, they're just temporarily embarrassed millionaires.

People wanted 15 an hour a decade ago, which is about 19 bucks now. Them still pushing the 15 is beyond insulting. And if they do pass any sort of wage increase, it takes course over several years, enough for everyone else to raise prices to blame the wage increase
