The "fight for 15" movement officially started in Nov 2012. CPI calculator says that's $20.54 in today's money. But we all know housing and groceries have gone up significantly faster than CPI, and mostly just because the people controlling the supply decided they wanted more money.

We should use a money supply where they can't do that!

If you're suggesting something like cryptocurrency or a return to the gold standard, I challenge you to explain how that would help in this situation.

In this situation our pay is getting cut every year, at a greater rate than minimum wage is going up.
