Yojimbo addressed the first part so I will answer this. I agree. Minimum wage shouldn't be able to support someone. I don't think $15 realistically can support someone, at least not in MD, so I think it's a good starting wage in MD. In the lowest cost of living states, I'd advocate for $10 being the bare minimum.
