Mexico’s Wage Revolution: The Poverty Reduction Story Corporate Media Won’t Tell

from The Pletnet Show · host Plétora Network

Under López Obrador’s administration, 13.4 million Mexicans escaped poverty—not by neoliberal "trickle-down" myths, but through bold policy: doubling the real minimum wage.Economist Viri Ríos proves it: 78% of this drop came from wage hikes, demolishing the lie that fair pay kills jobs or spikes inflation.Why did major media ignore this milestone?What does this "Mexican Miracle" reveal about the intellectual bankruptcy of economic orthodoxy? We dissect how humanist policy exposed neoliberal failures, reduced inequality, and fueled growth from the ground up—even during a pandemic.This isn’t about one leader. It’s about a radical truth: dignity is won, not begged for. And the guardians of the status quo will never forgive that.🎙️ Plétora’s Culture & Politics – Where data doesn’t bow to power.
