This is why I hate set number arguments. “The fight for fifteen” was so unbelievably stupid… If they understood politics at all they would know it can take decades to go from grassroots to policy… Fight for fifteen is just finally getting $15 minimum wage when now you need $20 because it took like a decade…
Which is absolutely intended. Push back long enough for the value to equal out. Then you “raise” the minimum to be an equal value of what it was when you were pushing back so nothing actually changes…
