Bill: As I always say - “let the free market take care of it” - government intervention always makes things worse.

Bill: Well, no. The government needs to take care of that.
Wolfgang: By setting a reasonable blanket minimum wage and enforcing it across all sectors of the economy?

Lindy: So what’s your market-based solution then?
Bill: Enforcing our borders.
Lindy: (sigh)
