Even here in the south $15 an hour is mediocre if you are single, the fact that people in New York and California raving about that is downright embarrassing. I'm not trying to act like The Coli 6-Figure gang because I barely break $15 an hour myself (although Uncle Sam doesn't know about a good fraction of that).
The Private Sector has held off on minimum wage increases for so long that people now think a $10-$15 an hour is impressive. No, $10-$15 an hour was cool for a 20-year old college student in 2005 when a one-bedroom was $500 in a decent neighborhood. Now in 2016 you have 3-4 adults in "middle-class" neighborhoods with more cars that can fit in the driveway because if someone gets laid off or their hours cut (because those "newly created" service jobs aren't really full-time positions) everything falls apart as far as the bills go.
Those jobs won't even exist in 10 years. Get ready for the permanent poor-working class.

and to be real a lot of these corporate jobs are no more important than flipping burgers. I've seen many in my time making 70k+ and dont do nothing but sit at a computer playing spades for 8 hrs

? what this argument says is that a fukkin kiosk is cheaper than a 15 an hour worker, but not a ten? it shouldnt matter what the worker is even making
