This meme is a humorous commentary on the concept of a "living wage" in the state of Oregon. The image shows a map of Oregon with a red outline around the state's western coast, implying that this is the area where the "living wage" is in effect. The text above the image reads: "In Oregon, the minimum wage for every city, town, and rural area automatically changes every year based on any local changes in cost of living."

The fight for $15 started in 2012, when that was the living wage, (the minimum hourly pay it takes to just survive, not thrive). Its been a decade-long fight for $15, and the living wage is now much higher than what we're still fighting for. In Oregon, the minimum wage for every city, town, and rural area automatically changes every year based on any local changes in cost of living that year. This would be a much better national policy than constantly fighting for pay that would have let us survive a decate ago.
