New York City's mayoral race is turning into a bidding war of economic absurdity. Andrew Cuomo wants $20/hour by 2027. A self-proclaimed socialist says $30 by 2030. What’s next—$50? $100? Free caviar with every paycheck?
In this no-BS episode of Watchdog on Wall Street, we torch the fantasy economics driving minimum wage hikes and expose the real-world fallout: lost jobs, closed restaurants, and once-vibrant NYC neighborhoods turned into ghost towns of Walgreens and "For Lease" signs. With cultural jabs from Coming to America to Seinfeld, this episode brings the heat on why top-down wage mandates don’t lift people up—they just price them out.
