Agreed, but it's up to the politicians (unfortunately) to fix the voting process. All we can do is sit back and enjoy the people pointing out the absurdities in the process.

Certainly a much better contender than the king of genocide enablement (Trump)
While the amount did increase, you missed the line right above it -- minimum wage in the USA has effectively been decreasing since 1968.
Its purchasing power peaked in 1968, at $1.60 ($14.00 in 2024)
I don't. Personally I think it has led to more proxy wars, as the stability-instability paradox suggests. I think the amount of actual aggression went down after WWII, but has since recovered and surpassed pre-WWII levels. But now everyone is afraid of declaring war on nuclear powers, so they'll let the nuclear country get away with genocide or other atrocities instead. Look at Israel and Russia right now for easy examples. Seems like the winning strategy now is to convince your adversaries that you're crazy enough to launch your nukes and then you can do whatever you want without other countries taking a strong enough stance to stop you. That's not peace, that's nuclear intimidation. I don't even see a peaceful way out of it.
