To put all this in perspective, in 1972 at 16 years old, my minimum wage job paid $1.65 and hour...

Agree. My first job, minimum wage was $1.25, and I could fill my car with regular for $2.50 With minimum wage now at $15, who has a car they can fill for $30 ? My last trip to the gas station I spent $200.
