It's a good way of showing how dysfunctional modern democracies can be. A lot of people on minimum wage vote for a higher wage, while not being equipped with the knowledge that this only hurts them. Sure, in the short and medium term they will earn a little bit more.

Over the long run most og us will be displaced by some form of automation anyways. It's a tectonic shift in our society and it's going to be interesting to see where this goes!

Good post, good subject
