A minimum wage law is almost always championed by the powerful to keep their competitors at bay. We need to figure out how to funnel more money from the wealthy to the poor without incorporating the government. And, sorry, libertarianism by itself doesn't cut it. Honestly, I think the stock market is a major problem, but I don't have any clue how you can fix it.

A time machine to stop participation trophies.

That gave people that were losers a feeling of being a winner... they carry that entitlement still to this day. Not being rewarded was a way to light the fires of competition - make you do better. Those days are gone.

EDIT: And worse.. it made the winners feel like it wasn't a big deal to win.
