        These are the workers that deserve 15 dollars p/hr. Not the ones at the drive thru window.

        $15 an hour barely makes ends meet. Orderlies, health service folks, and those who do thankless jobs deserve way more than that.

        I was one of them. 50+hour weeks of back breaking work for an entirely unlivable wage. I loved the work but had to look elsewhere to survive

        It was so bad that they could have doubled my pay and I would have only just been able to make ends meet for a single person. Hawaii is $$$.

        And most of the health aides are immigrants. Very few white Americans care to be in this line of work.
