How Minimum Wage Works

I need a job, but I don't have a lot of skills. Can you help me out? Ok well, you can clean up at the bar for 8 dollars per hour. Ok great, I'll take it. Wait a minute, you can't agree to that wage, you must pay him at least 15 dollars per hour! Sorry that's too much, I can get someone who can also bartend for that rate. I'm helping Please HELP!

A Simpsons comic shows a worker accepting a low-paying bar job, while a minimum-wage advocate objects and causes the employer to hire someone more skilled for the same rate. The child proudly says “I'm helping” while making the original worker desperate, parodying unintended consequences of wage regulations and performative activism.
