Show host Gene Tunny breaks down why price controls are one of the most consistently failed economic policies. Using vivid historical examples from the 1970s US, the Soviet Union's command economy, and Venezuela's toilet paper crisis, he illustrates how interfering with the price mechanism leads to shortages, inefficiency, and unintended consequences. Gene would love to hear your thoughts on this episode. You can email him via contact@economicsexplored.com.TimestampsIntroduction to the Podcast and Episode Theme (0:00)Price Controls and Their Economic Implications (2:47)President Nixon's Wage and Price Controls (8:53)The Soviet Union's Central Planning System (18:20)Economic Inefficiency in the Soviet Steel Industry (29:24)Venezuela's Toilet Paper Crisis (31:57)TakeawaysPrice controls disrupt vital economic signals, leading to misallocation of resources and market inefficiency.Nixon's wage and price freeze in the 1970s led to empty supermarket shelves, black markets, and farmers slaughtering livestock to cut their losses.Soviet central planning failed due to the absence of price signals, leading to constant shortages—even of basic goods like meat and bread.Venezuela's price caps on essentials like toilet paper created massive shortages and forced the government to import millions of rolls.The price mechanism acts as a societal dashboard, helping balance supply and demand more efficiently than central planning or rationing.Links relevant to the conversationBen Bernanke's book – 21st Century Monetary Policyhttps://www.amazon.com.au/21st-Century-Monetary-Policy-Inflation/dp/1324020466BBC News Article on Venezuela's Toilet Paper Crisis: "Venezuela aims to end toilet paper shortage"https://www.bbc.com/news/business-22621833Bread and Autocracy: Food, Politics, and Security in Putin's Russiahttps://www.amazon.com.au/Bread-Autocracy-Politics-Security-Putins/dp/019768436XStephen Kotkin – Armageddon Averted: The Soviet Collapse 1970–2000https://www.amazon.com.au/Armageddon-Averted-Soviet-Collapse-1970-2000/dp/0195368630Friedrich Hayek – “The Use of Knowledge in Society”https://www.econlib.org/library/Essays/hykKnw.htmlLumo Coffee promotion10% of Lumo Coffee's Seriously Healthy Organic Coffee.Website: https://www.lumocoffee.com/10EXPLOREDPromo code: 10EXPLORED

Death of the middle class: What is it: Anyone who has had to work to pay for rent, bills, food, etc. How to reestablish it: Corporate regulation, People over profit, Wage theft prosecution (no more deferred accountability loopholes), etc. (the upcoming series will contain specific examples)What's killing it: A system that prioritizes profits over people means: Catering to the wealthy and eliminating services + experiences for the middle class.Eliminating the working class from every direction. Culture, economics, sustainability, livelihoods, nothing is safe. Wage theft is the largest form of theft even if you take all of the other forms of theft that exist, combined. So they're stealing our money, benefiting from corporate bailout loopholes that they lobbied for, which means their own workers are paying taxes into the system that robs them of their own profits, and THEN Pricing us out with an increase in taxes, wage theft, and manufactured inflation.They've privatized or are in the process of fully privatizing everything: Prisons, Healthcare, Vet care, Wellness, Dialysis, Education, Housing, Politics, and the land itself… literally everything that should be in the best interest of the public and the world at large has been bought and sold to the highest bidder. But it is not hopeless. What is manufactured can be restructured. We can fight back, if we're strategic and conscious of the ways in which they're attacking us. This is psychological warfare, only when we recognize this, can we begin to push back + defend ourselves against these attacks.

What if your portfolio could help advance justice, compassion, and human flourishing?Aligning your investments with your faith isn't just about avoiding harm—but actively shaping the world around them for good. Stella Tai joins us to talk about how investors are putting their values to work in the marketplace.Stella Tai is the Stewardship Investing Impact and Analysis Manager for Praxis Investment Management, an underwriter of Faith & Finance.Faith-Based Investing in Action: Praxis' 2024 Impact ReportFor many believers, investing isn't just about building wealth—it's about aligning financial decisions with faith values. Praxis Investment Management, a pioneer in faith-based investing since 1994, continues to demonstrate how Christians can utilize their investments to promote justice, compassion, and tangible change in the world. In its latest Impact Report, Praxis highlights how investor dollars are transforming communities and influencing some of the world's largest companies.Shaping a more just and compassionate world is something that's important to many investors, particularly those of faith. Praxis' annual report reveals where the money goes and how it's used, inspiring others to view their investments as powerful tools for making a difference.Praxis organizes its efforts around seven “impact strategies,” which support underserved communities, promote responsible business practices, and bring faith into everyday financial decisions.Speaking Truth to Power: Shareholder AdvocacyOne highlight of the report is Praxis's work in shareholder advocacy with global brands like Nike.Nike employs over a million people worldwide, many of whom are based in vulnerable regions. Praxis is part of a coalition pushing for stronger human rights protections in the supply chain, including safeguards against wage theft and exploitation. Every worker deserves to have their God-given dignity respected.Praxis is also collaborating with companies such as Coca-Cola and Nestlé to address child labor and wage theft in the global sugar supply chain, advocating for third-party audits and increased transparency.Positive Impact Bonds: Financing ChangeBeyond advocacy, Praxis invests in bonds that directly benefit communities. Recent purchases include:World Bank IDA Program Bonds, targeting extreme poverty with measurable results.Green and Sustainable Bonds from Freddie Mac, which expand affordable housing and environmental stewardship.These investments generate jobs, improve access to healthcare, and help communities thrive—all while providing competitive financial returns.Real Stories of TransformationPraxis' report also shares stories of hope, such as the expansion of Always Keep Progressing, a Miami therapy center that serves children with special needs. Through investment partnerships, the clinic now helps more than 400 families.This is redemptive investing in action. It's about fostering human flourishing, not just financial gain.Praxis also partners with Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs) and credit unions that serve neighborhoods often overlooked by traditional banking systems. These organizations offer small business loans, enhance access to healthcare, and provide support to underserved rural and urban areas.Whether here in the U.S. or abroad, CDFIs are helping communities gain access to capital and create opportunities.The Momentum of Faith-Based InvestingMore Christians are realizing that their portfolios can reflect their values.Scripture calls us to care for the poor, the widow, the orphan, and the foreigner. When our faith aligns with our financial actions, even small changes can move markets toward justice.This includes proxy voting, which Praxis views as a form of corporate discipleship—using investor influence to advocate for fair labor, environmental stewardship, and other critical issues.How to Get StartedStart by asking yourself a simple but important question: “Do my investments reflect my faith values?” If the answer is no—or you're not sure—consider talking with a financial professional who understands faith-based investing. Every investor, whether managing a little or a lot, can play a role in shaping a redemptive economy. That's why we recommend connecting with a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA). To find one near you, visit FaithFi.com and click “Find a Professional.”Praxis' Impact Report offers practical insights and inspiring stories of transformation. You can access it at PraxisInvests.com, along with quarterly updates and resources to help you make informed, faith-driven investment decisions.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I'd like to set up a trust that distributes money to my children monthly after my death, rather than giving them a lump sum. How is a trust manager typically compensated? Are they paid with each monthly distribution, or do they take a percentage?I'm 71, retired, and using a managed account to supplement my retirement income by withdrawing about 4.2% annually. Is this a wise approach for sustaining my retirement, or should I consider other strategies?I just turned 66 and plan to file for Social Security soon. My goal is to be debt-free by the time I retire. Should I use my Social Security benefits over the next couple of years to pay off my mortgages so I can enter retirement without debt?Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly Magazine (Become a FaithFi Partner)Praxis Investment ManagementWisdom Over Wealth: 12 Lessons from Ecclesiastes on MoneyLook At The Sparrows: A 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and AnxietyRich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA) or Certified Christian Financial Counselor (CertCFC)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions most days at (800) 525-7000.

3  Adapt and Be Adept: Market Responses to Climate Change edited by Terry Anderson, champions market-based adaptation to climate change over top-down, incentivized approaches such as carbon taxes or "climate clubs". The book uses Pascal's Wager to frame its argument: regardless of whether climate change is definitively proven, it is prudent to adapt. A central critique in the book is directed at the economic impracticality of relying solely on renewable energy. Mark Mills' chapter highlights that historically, the dominance of wood and the search for food kept societies from specializing, a limitation overcome by fossil fuels. Current statistics show renewables account for only 2% of global and 3% of US electricity generation. The cost comparison is stark: $1 million worth of shale gas produces 300 million kilowatts of power, while the same value in renewables yields only 50 kilowatts. Furthermore, storing renewable energy with batteries is prohibitively expensive (costing $200 per equivalent unit compared to $1 for hydrocarbons) and limited by the availability and environmental impact of mining critical resources like lithium. The book dismisses goals like the Biden administration's aim for 100% renewable electricity by 2035 as being in "total denial" of these physical and economic limits. The book also critiques government-led "incentivized" policies, like carbon taxes or emissions trading systems, as susceptible to political distortion and protectionist agendas. These policies, derived from "blackboard economics," fail to account for the political reality where powerful interests at the negotiating table ensure they are not "on the menu" for taxation. The failure of Europe's emissions trading system, which was diluted by granting credits to new energy producers, serves as an example of such distortion destroying market incentives. Instead, the book advocates for improving "price discovery" through financial and risk markets as the most effective means of adaptation. These markets, like property and insurance, naturally adjust prices to reflect changing risks, such as declining property values in areas prone to storm surges. However, government subsidies for programs like flood or crop insurance distort these signals, leading to maladaptive behavior. The crucial role of government, according to the authors, is not to dictate energy policy or impose taxes, but to provide accurate, transparent, and timely data on climate variables like rainfall and temperature, enabling markets to make informed decisions. The experiences of Alaskan Native Villages (ANV) illustrate the importance of local control and human ingenuity in adaptation, which external regulations have often hindered. The book emphasizes the need for pragmatism in addressing climate change, echoing Bjorn Lomborg's argument for sensible investments in areas like public health (e.g., malaria control) that yield greater returns than attempts to halt climate change altogether. Ultimately, Adapt and Be Adept posits that empowering individuals and communities with accurate information and minimal market distortion will unleash the human capacity to adapt and prosper in a changing climate. 1848 EXTINCTION DODO BIRD

Questions about whether Christian business owners should provide a livable wage, whether doing a corporate sponsorship that promotes one's business contradicts Matthew 6:3, and whether the parable of the rich fool refutes America's approach to retirement.   Do Christian business owners have a moral responsibility to provide a livable wage? Would doing a corporate sponsorship with an organization we have been working with and financially supporting contradict Jesus' words in Matthew 6:3 about giving in secret since part of the motivation would be to promote our business? Is the parable of the rich fool in Luke 12:13–21 a direct refutation of America's approach to retirement?

From DEI rituals to the Jonestown Warning, this broadcast shows how ideology has replaced faith and why the Red–Green Alliance threatens Western civilization. - Broadcast August 22, 2025 on WWCR 4840 kHz from Nashville, this week's edition of The Thompson Show dives headfirst into the theme of ideological religion — the secular Left's new faith, complete with saints, martyrs, blasphemy laws, and holy wars. Todd examines how today's ideological zealots: Canonize their saints and martyrs — from Marx and Lenin to George Floyd and Greta Thunberg. Enforce blasphemy laws in the form of speechcrime and cancellation. Sacrifice truth, tradition, and common sense on the altars of DEI, climate zealotry, gender ideology, and ritualized propaganda. Wage holy wars through riots, uprisings, and cultural purges in the name of “justice.” From Joan Didion's warning about “moral imperatives” to Jacques Ellul's insight on propaganda and orthopraxy, Todd connects the dots between ideological conditioning and religious zeal. He highlights the Boomerang Effect — how integration propaganda meant to normalize (like corporate DEI rituals or Target's pride campaigns) backfires into outrage. The broadcast reaches its climax with the Jonestown Warning: Jim Jones as the original “woke Marxist preacher,” blending Bible verses with socialist slogans, building a utopian commune that ended in mass graves. Todd argues that the same psychology underlies today's woke religion — utopia promised, hysteria enforced, corpses delivered. Closing the show, Todd expands the critique to Europe's blasphemy laws, the UK and Scotland punishing veterans and teachers for “Islamophobia” while excusing Islamist extremism. He ties this selective enforcement to the Red–Green Alliance, showing how the far-Left and Islamists have made common cause against Western civilization.

The job market in 2025 is tougher than it has been in years. Why?   For partnership inquiries, please reach out to info@newmoneynate.com   Job seekers are discovering that job hopping, once seen as the fastest path to higher salaries and career advancement, no longer guarantees the same results. Companies are cutting back on hiring, salaries are under pressure, and the premium for switching jobs has shrunk dramatically. For anyone thinking about quitting their job, finding a new job, or negotiating a raise, understanding what's really happening in today's job market in 2025 is essential.   For decades, job hopping was considered one of the best career growth strategies. Moving every few years allowed professionals to increase their income faster than staying with the same employer. Salary growth for job switchers consistently outpaced job stayers, promotions came faster, and external hires were often given higher pay bands than internal employees. In hot job markets, workers who switched jobs could see 7–10% raises compared to 3–5% for those who stayed put. This trend made job switching a core career strategy for ambitious professionals across industries, and it shaped how entire job markets operated for years.   But in 2025, the job market has shifted. Wage growth is slowing, inflation has cooled, and AI / automation are changing how companies hire. Employers are cautious, budgets are tight, and the salary premium for switching jobs has nearly vanished. Professionals who once relied on job hopping for quick promotions and higher pay are now facing a new reality: the gap between job switchers and job stayers has collapsed to one of the smallest differences in a decade. For many, this raises the question of whether job hopping is still worth it in the 2025 job market, or if it's better to stay put and focus on internal advancement.   The conversation around job hopping, salary negotiation, career mobility, and promotions is more important than ever. The job market in 2025 is filled with challenges: fewer openings, smaller salary bumps, and slower promotion cycles. Job seekers are asking whether quitting their job is still a smart move, whether finding a new role in this economy will deliver the same salary growth it once did, and whether career advancement now depends more on staying than moving. Questions about job hopping, career growth, wage gaps, and long-term income potential are driving a new debate about how to navigate the 2025 job market.   Whether you're thinking about quitting your job, planning your next move, or trying to understand why job offers feel smaller in 2025, the big picture is clear: the job market is evolving, but career mobility still matters. Job hopping, salary negotiation, career advancement, and promotions are all connected to how companies value talent in a changing job market. Knowing when to stay, when to leave, and how to navigate the realities of the 2025 job market can make the difference between stagnation and long-term success.

On our special Labor Day show we welcome Peter Rickman, President of MASH (Milwaukee Area Service and Hospitality Workers Union), to discuss making work pay a living wage in every corner of Wisconsin with a $20/hour minimum wage.

This week, we dig into the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit's new Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) collective action notice standard, the U.S. Department of Labor's (DOL's) relaunched Payroll Audit Independent Determination (PAID) program, and the DOL's scaled-back approach to wage and hour investigation penalties. Seventh Circuit's New Standard for FLSA Notice  The Seventh Circuit has introduced the Richards framework, a middle-ground standard for FLSA collective actions. This decision deepens the circuit split over notices to potential plaintiffs and could lead to Supreme Court involvement. Learn how this could impact your compliance strategies. DOL Relaunches PAID Program  The DOL has relaunched the PAID program, letting employers self-report FLSA violations to avoid litigation or liquidated damages. The program now covers select Family and Medical Leave Act corrections. Discover how this voluntary option supports compliance. Wage and Hour Investigation Penalties Scaled Back A new DOL directive reduces penalties during wage and hour audits. Liquidated damages won't apply in pre-litigation investigations but may still be pursued in litigation. See how this change could affect your risk management strategies.  -- Download our Wage & Hour Guide for Employers app: https://www.ebglaw.com/wage-hour-guide-for-employers-app. Visit our site for this week's Other Highlights and links: https://www.ebglaw.com/eltw401 Subscribe to #WorkforceWednesday: https://www.ebglaw.com/eltw-subscribe Visit http://www.EmploymentLawThisWeek.com This podcast is presented by Epstein Becker & Green, P.C.

Is private equity destroying your favorite consumer products? Today we discuss economic news, recent Trump-era tariffs, and private equity. We touch on corporate profit margins, wage growth versus price increases, and how different industries—like autos—are affected unevenly. We also explore interest rates and the possibility that traditional cause-and-effect in markets is “broken,” questioning whether metrics like CPI, GDP, and rate changes meaningfully influence market behavior anymore, given recent patterns where markets defy economic logic. We discuss...  Recent economic updates included the rollback of several Trump-era tariffs, though many remain in place. Companies are currently absorbing most tariff-related costs instead of passing them directly to consumers. Concerns were raised that if companies start passing these costs along, price increases could hit consumers later in the year. Wage growth trends are compared with rising prices, raising questions about future consumer spending strength. Industry impacts from tariffs vary, with the auto sector singled out as experiencing specific pressures. Recent market resilience even in the face of economic data could historically trigger volatility or declines. Earnings reports no longer move markets as much because companies lower expectations to easily beat estimates. The focus on quarterly earnings is misleading; long-term company growth matters more on an individual level but less on a macro scale. Value investing has underperformed for about 20 years because fundamentals matter less in today's market. The Fed's interest rate tools are less effective because global capital flows and supply shocks weaken their control. The Fed can still cause recessions by raising rates too high but can't fine-tune the economy like before. Supply-driven inflation (like energy and supply chains) is less responsive to Fed rate hikes. Market rates often lead Fed policy, meaning bond traders set financial conditions before the Fed acts. Private equity often overleverages companies, leading to bankruptcies despite popular products, like Instapot. Private equity uses dividend recapitalization to extract value quickly, saddling companies with unsustainable debt. Examples like Sears, Joanne Fabrics, Red Lobster, and Toys “R” Us show how private equity can ruin beloved brands. Private equity has been successful for investors but often at the expense of the long-term health of companies.
