But how do we then stop prices from going up as a result of $15/hr minimum wage?

Maybe, or that may be a leaf. Striking at the root may be addressing the Federal Reserve System. Ron Paul spoke of this for decades. If they print more money, then that $15 is worth less than where we started.

While attempting to create a viable living wage ... Raising the minimum wage is not enough if you’re a PT employee

You are no different from the rest of the pack; I was really looking for someone who stands out, but y'all do have the same talking points.
Replying to @marwilliamson
Sadly with the way the financial system works, and the mere presence of a billionaire class that buys land for speculation, $15/hour isn't going to do anything to make life more affordable. Inflation due to hedge funds buying all real estate means skyrocketing prices.

I think the minimum wage should be $500 an hour.

I have often wondered, why stop at $15? Why not make it $500 an hour? Then everybody can be rich!

Sounds like the dumbest shit ever. Not enough money to survive.
Replying to @marwilliamson
It is hard for me to understand how anyone could rationalize that keeping people from earning a decent wage is good for the country. If I have to pay a little more for my Big-Mac, I can do it with pride knowing that the person serving it isn't being paid slave wages.
