Five cities in Colorado are considering raising the minimum wage. From the Colorado Sun:
“For the five cities, which together hired consulting firm ECONorthwest to do an economic analysis, the interest was to get minimum wage in line with the higher rates in Denver, currently at $18.29, and unincorporated Boulder County, where hourly wages shot up to $15.69 this year.”
ECONorthwest is a social justice consultancy, championing Marxist change efforts in the name of weaponized empathy. From their website:
“Policymakers and business leaders trust ECOnorthwest to inform the complex issues that shape communities today,”
AND
“We work at the intersection of neighborhoods and highways. Of development and conservation. Of poverty and prosperity,”
AND
“To help guide your decisions, we’ve built a team of experts in economics, urban planning, public policy, finance, demography, geography, and sociology. Rooted in economics, our interdisciplinary expertise lights the way to a broader understanding of how policy choices affect peoples’ lives.”
Rooted in economics, this firm is working with five cities to raise the minimum wage. Keynes would be proud.
Broadly, the government should not be setting wages. Specifically, this state-and-local, public-private-partnership government, that has so devastatingly mismanaged Colorado resources — largely at the strategic direction of woke strategy firms — should be forced out of wage negotiations entirely.
These municipalities are reportedly considering public feedback on the way forward with minimum wage increases. Show up and speak up.
When do you think our locals are going to follow Kamala’s lead and push price controls and rationing? I mean, more than they already are...
