Increase it to a LIVABLE wage, AND adjust it every year according to inflation. NOBODY should have to work 40+ hours and be unable to support themselves.
A family-person should be entitled to a wage that supports their family, whether it be one kid or eight. They should be entitled to support themselves at *least* enough for a home.
Single people should be entitled to earn enough for at LEAST a single bedroom apartment.
The only reason prices go up is due to corporate greed. They make more than enough to support themselves and willingly choose to cheap on their employees while remaining at the top. None of us asked to be here, and if we're expected to contribute to society and make other people rich, while also working more than 20 hours, we should be entitled to make enough to pay our bills, house ourselves, and enjoy our hobbies.
