  • Summary

  • In this episode, we dive into the debate around minimum wage laws and the push for a universal living wage. While these policies sound compassionate, they often lead to unintended consequences like job losses, price inflation, and economic stagnation. We’ll break down the economic realities, including why employers won’t pay you more than the value you bring and why expecting an entry-level job to support a family is misguided. We’ll also explore the philosophical case against wage mandates and examine real-world examples, like Venezuela’s wage inflation disaster and Seattle’s minimum wage experiment. Tune in for a critical look at why these policies often do more harm than good.
