You really need to comprehend thermodynamic principles inside out.
In the USA it took four years of war and a half million dead Americans to end it.

Don’t feel too sorry for the billionaires who have businesses models paying at or near minimum wage. They rely on their workers getting food stamps and other social welfare programs to exist. Republicans never protest welfare for the wealthy.

The last time minimum wage was raised, it was about 40% of the average wage after three years of increases.
Had it been indexed to 40% the minimum wage would now be $11.50, and if at 50% then $14.40.
