It’s all public opinion. There’s no grand mechanism controlling wages to demand to market value blah blah blah.

The reason wages are going up little by little is by our will. There's been no change in minimum wage. No one's on unemployment anymore. The big bad isn't always politicans. It's your neighbor who says others should live in destitution so his cheeseburgers stay cheap, or that others shouldn't have healthcare so his stays private.
