Unfortunately, the comic is simplistic. The issue has more facets:

1. For minimum wage today to equal the buying power of minimum wage in 1980, minimum wage in 2022 ought to be about $27 / hour.

2. Immigration, both legal and illegal suppresses the natural rate of wages. It leads to less capital formation per capita and thus keeps people poorer while enriching investors unduly.

3. Because of artificially low minimum wage, i.e., Congress mandated wage vs competitive market for wages, there is excessive malinvestment in the retail sector including in fast food restaurants. The economy that has resulted is one from distortion rather than from the hidden forces of competition.

Wow, you mean to tell me when America was a high trust society 70 years ago, you could just have people listed in the Yellow Pages and nothing would happen to them? Hmmm, I wonder why that changed Matt.
