Wake up Nostriches! I found a fellow pleb with too few followers. You know what to do! Let’s #grownostr npub108lpe5a7ruefnnvn377ms790hgp5lk4y0qectager278vswzup8su5wd5a

Another 3am brain turns on wake… We shall see how long this round lasts before I head back to bed… If you don’t see me between 7am and Noon…you’ll know why 🤦🏻‍♂️

Reading @Saifedean Ammous's Principles of Economics. As a business owner I always knew the minimum wage concept and political position is actually counter-productive to human growth (personal development) I however hadn’t thought of it in the frame that when a minimum wage is instituted, in effect it becomes illegal to hire people who can’t produce more than the minimum wage. “Wages, like all prices in a market, are not just arbitrary numbers chosen by greedy employers. They are a reflection of the marginal productivity of the worker. As the law now stipulates that a worker must be paid $10 per hour, the employer now has to reconsider whether it is worth hiring this worker. When the government mandates a minimum wage, it does not magically alter the calculus of the employer, nor does it magically increase the worker’s productivity. The employer will still only hire workers whose productivity is higher than their wage. Thus, the minimum wage law makes it illegal for employers to hire anyone whose marginal productivity is less than $10 per hour. Any worker whose productivity is less than that will now become a drain on any business that hires him and pays him that amount. Either he gets fired, or the business that hires him loses money and goes bankrupt. In all cases, these jobs are eliminated, and everyone whose productivity is less than $10 per hour is now legally unemployable; either unemployed or employed illegally.”

I realize it’s a vanity number, and heck maybe half my “Followers” aren’t real humans or are no longer using NOSTR 🥲 But it’d be a cool milestone to reach the 500 Follower count. If any of the topics in my profile interest you, I ask you to Quote this Note, add your own thoughts - maybe say what it is you value about the content I create and has kept you following me and engaging with me since I joined NOSTR a year ago. In doing so you’d be helping a fellow Nostrich reach a small personal milestone. I believe leadership = relationships and without relationships we are nothing. Starting first with God, followed by self, family, and others. Together we can #grownostr ! P.S. Remember if it’s worth a Like, Comment, ReNote, or QuoteNote; it’s worth a #zap
