Sander's $15 is 2020. See which one actually happens. Hoyt Nov 2015 #2
Actually, hers is $12 with cities at $15 JaneyVee Nov 2015 #4
Does that inequality have reasoning behind it? MrMickeysMom Nov 2015 #5
Probably because population = profit. JaneyVee Nov 2015 #6

A store on Broadway in NYC will get 5000x the foot traffic as a store in Dubuque Iowa.
