that's only one case with no contextual data. What's the matter, can't you find enough data to back your premise? Shouldn't your premise be universally backed up by mountains of evidence? Also, why does the government have a monopoly on what a person should make for a wage? Why can't potential employees bargain their price of labor to beat out the competition?
If the minimum wage in a certain area is $15 or $22 dollars, shouldn't the potential employee have the right to underbid the rate, ensuring that he or she gets the job without party suffering punitive actions from the state or are humans no longer in charge of their own earning potential? Or is it your wish, that final arbiter of what a person's labor is worth? Why can't the individual decide what he or she will work for within any and all types of market realities? Does the state trump the individual regarding his or her labor?

Well, the Government is different everywhere. In the United States or Ukraine, for example, it serves the interests of the rich, while in Russia it serves the interests of ordinary people, as the Russian president has repeatedly said.

That was a well thought out reply. Who would have guessed that the government and people, everywhere, were different? I will remember to keep that in mind.
Since we have concluded that people are different everywhere, then why is it astonishing that there are different results in the wages of Danes and Americans? Also, since we have so concluded that people are indeed, different, with differing opinions and solutions, then why do we need one solution, to suit them all?

There are probably a lot of factors we don't consider when comparing something similar (in this case, working at a cheap diner).
