Eight Year Old Named Saga Pulls Pre-Viking Era Sword from Lake in Sweden
Pretty sure that makes them King Saga now.
They said in the article that people are Tweeting that she might be the next Queen of Sweden
Might need to keep an eye on her. She might "disappear".

Why can't ladies in lakes give out swords of leadership here in the US?

Would it really? Just think about the process. "I have the sword now, so I'm the only one who can speak". Sounds like a quick means of getting a lot of bad apples in power quickly who would simply off the previous person in charge.

So - as an employee who was making say $18/hr at that same company - to see someone who was making say $11/hr suddenly get a bump to $15 - and you get nothing - how does that make you feel?
Of course we don't know that the rising boat isn't catching everyone - but it does seem pretty unlikely.

Same as minimum wage jumps have made everyone feel at MW shops for forever. Every fast food place has done this to their staff, often even putting new hires paid above old ones!

This is not possible. Minimum wage laws apply to everyone. A new hire at $15 would be making the same as the guy hired last week for $10 who is now also making $15.
