EP283: A Company Where EVERYONE Earns At Least $70K / Government Has Become a Pagan god to Some / NYT Sounds Like Me About Covid Policy

On This Episode: LEFT WINGERS CROW AT SUCCESSFUL COMPANY WHERE EVERYONE MAKES AT LEAST $70K (0:00-15:39) There's a company in Seattle where the CEO took a major pay cut, and they managed to pay everyone at least $70K/year. For some reason, some folks on the Left think this is a dunk on capitalism. A situation where everyone there is free associated with the situation is actually the most free-market arrangement there is. I have a lot of takes about this that will surprise a lot of people. OUR RELATIONSHIP TO WORK (15:39-24:20) For many, work becomes a method of getting approval, pride, or power. However, if we think about work as just one of the areas where we work out our transcendent meanings (glorifying God and carrying out his mission), we can have a really healthy relationship to our jobs. ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF GOVERNMENT AS GOD (24:20-30ish) The recent, tragic tornados in Kentucky and the response thereto give opportunity to recognize that for some people's relationship to the federal government is similar to that of ancient peoples and their idols. SOME FINAL CLEANUP (30ish - end of show) --Only 18% of American households are nuclear families. We'll talk about the causes, the consequences, and the only potential solution. --Inflation is terrible right now. Passing BBB will make it much worse. --More and more people on the Left are leaning my way on Covid policy.
