While $15 mw sounds like the solution to end poverty, it just won't erase the fact the it will likely not create more jobs or hours at small businesses or hold the larger corporations accountable that are already paying over $15 And it will accelerate adoption of automation

I mean, no one deserves to live in poverty, full stop. Beyond that, Joe Biden's record proves that he doesn't even believe his own rhetoric.

No American should live in poverty period. Lots of folks are not in a position to enter the paid labor force and they tell deserve dignity and the right to live clothed, fed, and sheltered.
