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.
I think we can agree that $15 an hour goes a lot further in some parts of the country. That being acknowledged, how does that affect the business in these lower cost of living areas that now have to pay a mandatory inflated wage? Would this not set up more rural areas for a complete collapse of any smaller or family owned business?
