Retailers across the country are warning that rising business costs are putting enormous pressure on the sector, with many saying further increases to the national minimum wage could threaten jobs and investment.     Retail Excellence Ireland is now calling on the Low Pay Commission to pause any further minimum wage increases in 2027, arguing that while workers deserve fair pay, the pace of recent increases is making it harder for businesses to survive and reducing opportunities for young people entering the workforce.     Joining Alan Morrissey earlier was Jean McCabe, Chief Executive of Retail Excellence Ireland and owner of Willow in Ennis.

Join Jim and Greg for the Friday 3 Martini Lunch as they dig into the U.S. Supreme Court once again protecting our Second Amendment, the left calling for a $25 per hour minimum wage, Democrats frustrated the World Cup has not been a disaster, and remembering respected pollster Glen Bolger.First, they applaud the Supreme Court for striking down a Hawaii law that required residents to get permission from stores and other public places before they were allowed to carry guns there. Despite the 6-3 decision, Jim expects Democrats to push very similar legislation again, only to have it smacked down at the Supreme Court again.Next, they groan as the left keeps pushing a much higher minimum wage as a solution to the rising cost of living, despite all evidence to the contrary. Connecticut Sen. Chris Murphy is pushing a nationwide minimum wage of $25 per hour. Jim and Greg explain how this will only make things more expensive and result in more people losing their minimum wage jobs.Then, they're disgusted by a Politico story explaining how many Democrats were hoping the World Cup would be a logistical disaster so they could blame President Trump. So far, it's going well, and Democrats aren't very happy about it. Who thinks like this?Finally, they pay tribute to GOP pollster Glen Bolger, who passed away Thursday at the age of 63. Jim remembers Bolger as a very good pollster and an even better man.Please visit our great sponsors:AG1Visit https://DrinkAG1.com/3ML Get a FREE Morning Person Hat and a FREE AG1 Flavor Sampler in your Welcome Kit with your first AG1 subscription. IncogniTake control of your digital footprint today.  Use code 3ML at the link below and get 60% off an annual plan: https://incogni.com/3MLQuoMoney is on the line.

Hour 3 of The Marc Cox Morning Show came loaded with firepower. Fox News' Griff Jenkins fired the opening shot, exposing how World Cup fans torched the mainstream media's decades-long smear campaign against America — then sounded a chilling alarm about Squad 2.0 and the Democrat Socialists of America's explosive growth threatening to drag the entire party off a socialist cliff. Former Arizona Congressman JD Hayworth followed with a masterclass on Big Pharma's stranglehold on prescription drug prices — and why 94% of Americans are demanding Congress act now. Spokesman Andy Baker laid out the ironclad case for Amendment 4, showing exactly how radical left-wing groups have been buying their way into the Missouri Constitution — and how this August is the last chance to stop them. Then Kim on a Whim closed the hour with Senator Chris Murphy's jaw-dropping $25 minimum wage proposal — and Marc Cox delivered the kind of straight-talk smackdown that only The Marc Cox Morning Show can deliver. You don't want to miss a minute of it.

Activists in Alameda County are collecting signatures to put a $30 minimum wage on the November ballot — promising prosperity, new jobs, and relief from Bay Area's crushing cost of living. They have friendly studies. They have One Fair Wage backing them. What they don't have is a single example of this actually working.Seattle tried it. Researchers documented the destruction: 1,800 jobs gone, hundreds of millions in economic disruption, and a downtown now famous for empty storefronts and shuttered restaurants. Mayor-elect Katie Wilson wants to double down on the same formula that gutted the city. Alameda County activists watched all of it and decided the answer is to go even higher.Sean runs through the wage study math the activists are leaning on, the MIT living-wage calculator they cite, and the real arithmetic no one wants to run — what happens to tax revenue when 20% of small businesses fold, what happens to workers when employers automate or cut hours, and what it means when the people promising you a raise are the same ones who've never run a payroll.Subscribe to @reasonablenews and hit the notification bell for daily breakdowns of the stories the mainstream press won't tell straight.#Seattle #HomelessCrisis #ConservativeNewsGO PREMIUM WITH REASONABLE+ FOR UNCENSORED ACCESS

Julia Regier is a policy and research manager at MIT's Stone Center on Inequality and Shaping the Future of Work, where she focuses on workforce and policy impacts. Her path here was anything but straight, from studying philosophy at Wellesley to an MBA at Yale to translating dense economics research for people who don't speak economics. We talk about what the data shows for workers without college degrees (spoiler: it's not great, and it's been getting worse since 1980), why the self-checkout AI surveillance story is a perfect case study in automation gone wrong, and what it would take to redirect AI development toward something that works for workers, not just around them. We also get into the market failure at the heart of how AI is being built, why a handful of people setting the vision for all of us is a problem, and what policy levers could shift things. Julia also makes the moral case, loud and clear, for a living wage, and we're here for it.

If you haven't listened to last week's sit-down with former NFL star Marcus Ogden yet — go do that first. This week, Julie and Mika return to unpack every layer of his extraordinary rise, fall, and second act. Marcus went from being a dominant NFL player and minority contractor holding Baltimore's top government contract — to making $8.15 an hour cleaning restrooms. This is what rock bottom really looks like, and more importantly, what the climb back up teaches us all. Jules and Mika explore how Marcus was able to share his story without emotional charge — speaking from wisdom rather than wound — and why that signals a man truly living his mission. They dig into the parallels between addiction to substances and addiction to status, success, and dopamine, asking the question: is ego just another drug? "To have an ego that big, it had to be brought down. His rock bottom was a way of showing the height of where he was — and for him to come back from that, it's almost like he is called to share this." — Mika Altidor KEY TAKEAWAYS: Ego is a dopamine loop. Marcus replaced drug and alcohol addiction with the high of being "number one" — the most successful minority contractor in Baltimore. Success without humility can be its own trap. Comeback stories are rare — and that's why they matter. Jules and Mika reflect on how few people actually return from that depth of loss. Marcus's story is a Cinderella story because the odds were against him, and he made it anyway. Rock bottom can be a reset, not an ending. For Marcus, cleaning toilets wasn't the end of his story — it was the stripping away of everything fake so the real self could rebuild. Shared vulnerability is mission work. When you've been through something extraordinary, telling the truth about it stops being personal — it becomes a calling. Marcus embodies that shift. Check your ego before the universe does. Mika shares her own moment of realizing praise was inflating her sense of self. The universe has a way of recalibrating — best to do it yourself first.

Marcus Ogden rose from an NFL career to building Baltimore's top minority-owned government construction contract, lost everything including his sobriety, and rebuilt from working as a janitor at $8.15 an hour.
