fight for $15 needs to change to fight for $20

i don’t know why this isn’t already the conversation but all these people working as middle management, medical, emergency and practically every industry had to climb the ladder to get up to $20+ an hour. the starting pay for every job should be no less than $20/hr. you shouldn’t have to become a supervisor to make $20+ an hour. every job that requires special licensing/certification/degrees needs to be starting at a higher wage. i feel like most of the pushback against 15/hr is people comparing their jobs shitty pay to it when those people should already be getting paid 25+ starting. STARTING. why isn’t this the new argument? $15/hr isn’t enough. the minimum wage should be $20/hr.
