The other part about this comic that also reflects part of our society is the win-lose situation. Someone is always at the butt of the joke, and in this case, that party happens to be mimes. Even if you pass a law in an attempt to fix your problem, it becomes a problem for someone else. You really haven't solved any problem, you've just pushed it along for the next person to deal with. Eventually the pressure of the problem becomes too much to handle, which results in full-blown chaos. It was like the 1800s when the government kept pushing around the heated issue of slavery instead of solving it, which resulted in Civil War. I'm sure that if there was a sequel to this particular strip, the mimes would be finding a way to get revenge.
