In my life I have witnessed the birth of the internet, the birth and death of bbs's, the various surges of tabletop gaming, more wars than I'm allowed to know about, and the birth of crypto. These are exciting times. They are what the old proverb calls "interesting times". There's a reason that's a curse, failure to adapt quickly to the new environment leads to death.

People calling for the raising of minimum wage are operating with tools from before my birth. They are failing to adapt.
