There is absolutely no place in between corporate bootlicker and raging communist, right?

How one can make the leap from free market capitalism and the laws of supply and demand to "raging communism" is an indictment of the educational system in this nation.

When supply is inadequate to meet demand prices will increase without intervention. The supply of people willing to work in low wage jobs is falling while demand for their services in low wage jobs is steady or on the rise. Without some sort of intervention outside of free market forces (currently found in the form of subsidized living expenses paid to the working poor taken from the pockets of taxpayers) the costs of such labor will increase until supply and demand reach equilibrium. What is going on at Waffle House and other low wage jobs is a natural function of an unfettered free market. When demand remains steady or increases and supply drops prices will increase.
