People who are pro-abolishing minimum wage say things like “companies will be able to pay people what they’re worth” which just means “I don’t think people are worth the bare minimum that currently doesn’t even cover cost of living”. Unless you want people to be paid less than minimum wage, there’s no argument to be made in favor of abolition.
His argument was that raising (or enacting) minimum wage leads to higher costs of living for everyone. So eventually the poor will end up with the same living standards and every else in the middle class will have devalued salaries and savings. Raising the minimum wage only increases standards of living in the short term and is counterproductive for society in the long term. The only way to truly raise the standard of living is through government projects and corporate innovation that creates real value. Printing money does not create value, it just dilutes the value of the money. A potential consequence of doing something that is extraordinary valuable to society might be the accumulation of extraordinary wealth, which is motivating to people. Therefore you should become a millionaire if you get the chance. I’m not saying I’m agreeing with all of these stances, but your characterization is definitely a straw man.
@@locallyringedspace3190 raising pays does not happen in a vacuum and inflation is more complicated, it's got dials and higher minimum wage would only affect inflation in specific circumstances. Maybe tangibly enacting the impossibility of anyone's work being hundreds, thousands or tens of thousands of times more valuable than anyone else's work would help too. Or shifting society away from the profit incentive and private ownership, which cause crises inflation (boards upping profits and director wages when everyone at the bottom suffers), shock doctrine grabs, requires massive manufactured demand, planned obsolescence, absurd destruction of surplus production, and a system that largely locks people into opportunities pertaining to their existing wealth. I know you said you're not stating your own opinion, just responding because both comments are incomplete and treating minimum wage in a vacuum.
the guy was talking about how a dollar had more spending power when he was a kid, but that fact has little bearing on the present, because the government has printed much more money, and inflation is killing everyone. Adding a higher minimum wage would not necessitate the printing of more money. It would just mean companies would have to pay their employees more (at least to my knowledge) idk, I feel like his ideas kind of contradicted themselves many times. Like when he talked about "workfare" he was saying it would decrease the load on the tax payer, but where does he think the money to pay the people comes from? The answer is still the taxpayer. And his thoughts on why rich shouldn't be taxed more also reminded me of trickle down economics (which don't work), if we tax people who make more, even after taxes, they will still have made more than people with lower incomes, so the incentive is still very much there.
@@TonyMontanaXx If this is a fact, do you have a source for this claim (e.g. a research paper or a study)? Would love to learn more about this fact from you!
@@TonyMontanaXx it's a fact because men have been the ones with resources and opportunity. Also history has a way of covering things up to support the ends of those in power (which historically, have been men). The blanket statement suggests that it's because men are superior in some way.
"Lets debate" "You should be a millionaire" "Hmm, thats a good one. Youve got ne stumped" Im sold Dax, im voting for you to be president. Gotta respect a man who can adit hes wrong.
Incredible interview Dax. Goodspaceguy is a name that is always there in my voter pamphlet but it was so interesting to hear him speak. I think I will continue voting for other candidates, though... :P
I love this show so much it hurts! It is serious, hilarious, Informative, and a bit WTF....? Thank you for making me laugh. ROFL. I wish I could be so comfortable in awkward situations. This is a GOOD hurt. Thank you for everything this is! Such a great show.
Another incredible episode! I have to give props to Ian / Anisa / whoever sources the guests, every guest has been perfect for this show, and there's been a nice mix too.
I will take however many shows and seasons yall can muster the passion for - The Hot Seat is genuinely better than most talk tv shows. One smaller thing to check on the production side of things tho: I noticed some white noise/fan/background noise thats pretty loud. Running audio through some editing program /plugin to clean that would go a long way in terms of quality. Stay awesome and yourself ❤️
we need more colorful thumbnails! I keep thinking it's behind the scenes, or some offbrand channel collecting clips - And i love the show - Please experiment with the thumbnail - Love you!
"No no no I don't wanna do that" was amazing. This spaceguy really thinks the tiny fractions that food cards for moms that work 2 jobs with kids is the problem 😂. How about the nearly trillion dollar defense budget that is unnecessary today? Or the absurdly high cost of government spending on healthcare because they allowed private companies to overcharge whatever they wanted through lobbying? Maybe bring in UHC and then the taxpayers will truly and genuinely benefit.
I had to laugh about the whole minimum wage bit. In order to remove minimum wage you'd have to assume employers are good people who won't exploit, which is completely delusional. Places like India, China, thailand etc. are good example.
Another monumental episode that adds yet another layer to the already complex and multi-varied character he embodies. Each of these episodes acts as a brushstroke on the canvas of his existence, painting a portrait of a person who defies easy categorization. Dax Flame's journey is marked by a remarkable ability to evolve and adapt, a testament to his resilience in the face of the unpredictable currents of life. With each new chapter, he invites us to share in his unique experiences and emotions, offering a glimpse into the intricate mosaic of a character whose depth continues to unfold with every passing moment, captivating and inspiring those who follow his compelling story.
I absolutely love this show. Nothing like it out there I think it might get more viewership if the interview were broken up every 10 minutes or so for a gag or a "Dax on the street" kinda thing. feel like it would help with the pacing more because as much as i love these my adhd doesnt let me watch 30 minutes of the same thing
I've actually heard of Goodspaceguy because I have a set of cousins from Seattle. He's a perrenial candidate, as in, he runs in every single election even though he's only even got out of the primary once.
So this guy thinks that welfare is bad, the problem with society is that no one wants to work, yet the only real “job” he had was investing?? Which you need money to do in the first place? Okay
Thank you for watching! : ) Have a nice day!
Your welcome 🙏
You're welcome! Thanks for the content!
True true
Love you dax
you too!
Dax cutting him off talking about space to bring up Mr Beast and then show us a clip of a man falling over was a really good segment. Thank you Dax
Dax doesn't cut people off, please delete this comment.
@@Rubbly least obvious Dax alt account
Me: The Hot Seat is amazing show.
Dax: True, true.
Gotcha! Cool! Perfect.
I didnt understand that.... yea, me neither
um, don't compare us to uh other shows please. Okay so here a new segment called...
true true
Why does it seem like Dax is the one in the hot seat instead of his guest
10:41
"Are there any gangs in Seattle?"
"Gangs? I imagine so. I don't understand that"
"True, me neither"
😂😂
Damn, you could really feel the fire in this one! Truly a heated debate, nothing was off-limits!
I was very nervous for both of them when they started talking about controversial subjects, especially in this so-called "cancel culture". Edgy!
As soon as Dax got corrected on the guest's hometown, I knew it would be Blood BATH
25:59 “If you have the opportunity to be a millionaire, you should definitely take it” I never thought about it like that 🤯
"Am I the one on exhibit, or the art?" I feel this
His ideology on minimum wage is very close to the "yes, the systems is rigged and that's why it will be so sweat when i win"

To be fair he never really got to explain his actual political beliefs
the world needs to see joe pera in the hot seat. we deserve this.
It seems like there would be a bizarre mismatch in energy, nevertheless I couldn't agree more.
God please
“Does Seattle have gangs?” “I don’t understand the question.” “Me neither.”
This is THE most insane interview I've ever watched. Incredible work Dax
Dax almost breaking after his passionate outreach to the camera at 15:32 has me crying.
Seemed to almost break a few times during this one, probably because of how batshit this dude is lol, definitely one of the better episodes
Loved Dax reaction to the guest's blanket statement that the "majority of pioneers are men" - "OR women :D"
But that is a fact. The MAJORITY of pioneers are men lol. Nothing to get offended or debate
@@TonyMontanaXxits not that imbalanced, but theres a lower proportion historically because of lack of access
@@TonyMontanaXx If this is a fact, do you have a source for this claim (e.g. a research paper or a study)? Would love to learn more about this fact from you!

@@lukasemmerich1605 it is.. if you serach for top 100 greatest scientist or inventors .. i'm pretty sure like 95% will be male.
"Lets debate"
"You should be a millionaire"
"Hmm, thats a good one. Youve got ne stumped"
Im sold Dax, im voting for you to be president. Gotta respect a man who can adit hes wrong.
Excellent guest, can’t get enough of Dax saying “so how was that” when brining up a relevant topic
Sure sure. True true
That was a great, fresh and relevant meme selection
The anxiety was real in this one. Take it easy, Dax!
True true
After 20 some cycles of voting for this guy, I"m not so sure i like him so much anymore..
19:01
For some reason this is hands down my favorite moment
had to see if anyone else timestamped this part, holy fuck im dying
Dax's opening jokes are really good this time around!
no framing of words in the universe will ever be able to come close to articulating how much i love the editing of these videos
Incredible interview Dax. Goodspaceguy is a name that is always there in my voter pamphlet but it was so interesting to hear him speak. I think I will continue voting for other candidates, though... :P
here's a random clip that I've been laughing lately at
*guy falls and dies*
ok guys lets talk about kittens now
I think he said something like “what’s the most beautiful thing you have ever seen?” Which is even more hilarious
my favorite fever dream, thank u fellers sm for this
It’s interesting how someone who you definitely would not describe as charismatic or animated could be such a genuinely entertaining host.
weird backhanded compliment
@@juli3290they could've called him awkward & bland. Idk how they could've communicated that sentiment any nicer lol
Everyone needs a good backhand every now and again.
Imagine receiving no compliment at all😂
I like his very Epcot vision of the future. It shouldn't happen though.
Seeing a new Hot Seat always makes my day. Thank you Dax and everyone else involved in making the show happen!
Please start every ep with these jokes. They are the best
TBH this is the best comedy show on TH-cam. I LOVE the hot seat!!
what’s the threshold of controversy to get on this show
The consistant audio interference tone throughout the entire interview grounded me.. I'm so thankful for this added feature.
lmfao
this is so relaxing to watch, thank you so much
I love it when Dax shows a photo he took
And by the way! I LOVE the way you've added a great clip in the beginning - it makes me wanna watch the whole thing much more!
I love this show so much it hurts! It is serious, hilarious, Informative, and a bit WTF....? Thank you for making me laugh. ROFL. I wish I could be so comfortable in awkward situations. This is a GOOD hurt. Thank you for everything this is! Such a great show.
I didn't even know there are many new episodes of this show because they put it on this channel.
dax respectfully destroyed him in the debates
1:42 - Oh my god, the smoke always gets me. 😂
"Can you tell us a little bit about your name?"
One of the hottest questions I've ever heard
It’s like Dax is interviewing himself from the future
no it's not
the hot seat feels like a training program for a person that wants to be a show host. I love the feeling
He’s so real for the art exhibit statement
Invest all your spare change because it goes up and down and up and down
Another incredible episode!

"it improves my memory..... uh uh" yea seems like it SpaceGuy
It's too good. My favorite moment was the wage debate with Dax's comments.
This is like 2 ais talking together
Dax u inspire me
"No no no I don't wanna do that" was amazing. This spaceguy really thinks the tiny fractions that food cards for moms that work 2 jobs with kids is the problem 😂.

But muh taxes
My dude has no idea on how being poor is
Goodspaceguy doesn't know the difference between having job and being a slave
I'm starting to think he might be the Badspaceguy.
I really hope you stay away from politics after reading that 😂
Coming in HOT with regular uploads
this is wild
I had to laugh about the whole minimum wage bit. In order to remove minimum wage you'd have to assume employers are good people who won't exploit, which is completely delusional. Places like India, China, thailand etc. are good example.
No, all you have to assume is that workers are not stupid babies.
Yay! Job well done on releasing new Shorts of Ep.1 sporadically up until now! It's the only way I survived.
Let's goooooo new episode!!! Legit binged every episode a few days ago
CAN WE GET A
"False, false 👈😉"
The Subaru bit was hilarious but you're the kind of guy to apologize for it on the next show. lol
Sending love from Tukwila.
I loved the questions, i never knew who this guy was but now I have a good idea of who he is and what he stands for.
I would leave my fiancé and kid just to be able to edit for this show. Please reach out to me. I’m begging you
i love this podcast so much
the cats, the debate, everything was so wholesome
Goodspaceguy when bad space guy walks in 😱😲😳

people who ask "what is a meme" running for power is too real 😭
Space Guy! I'll practice it more.
Dax won a debate wtf... Love it Dax!
Science guy confirmed that this is in Tacoma, not Seattle. As a Tacoma resident I’d like to come on the show and give my opinions
Boy oh boy another fabulous show Dax. The Hot Seat brings a smile and sense of fulfillment in my week.
Space guy was good quest
True, true
19:02 Dax throws to a post-production clip 🎬 --> Spaceguy 😵💫
I absolutely love this show. Nothing like it out there
I think it might get more viewership if the interview were broken up every 10 minutes or so for a gag or a "Dax on the street" kinda thing.
feel like it would help with the pacing more because as much as i love these my adhd doesnt let me watch 30 minutes of the same thing
hey spaceguy!
true true
Incredible episode!
love this show!
I got some neurospice in me. I was listening and loving it and bursting out a built-up laughter ever 5-6 minutes. Absolutely love the show man.
Way too many true trues Dax
I really feel like I'm missing something about the stock market bit
It goes up And down.
Up and Down.
uP & dOwN.

‘Debating Dax” plug my name first time you use it;) keep it up bro
Best episode yet!

the editing is on point.
Saul Goodspaceguy
This is absolute gold
That first Europe picture is in Vancouver, is it not?
true true, spaceguy, true true
had to take some time to rethink about a lot after this episode, thanks
So this guy thinks that welfare is bad, the problem with society is that no one wants to work, yet the only real “job” he had was investing?? Which you need money to do in the first place? Okay
Yeah I don't like visiting the moon not windy enough
The best talk show in Seattle!
Dax’s mannerisms are so fkn funny. The pointing always gets me. 2:51
Dax's conception of talk shows was formed by watching clip compilations
Dax: if you have the ability to become a millionaire you should take it
Me: true, true
Best podcast in the world. An episode with xQc would be so funny
At 28.19 sounds like dax says he smells very quietly under his breath. Poor space guy
i bet itd be fun for my grandchildren's children to analyze these transcription
Nice dynamics with this guest !
Oh man, that spicy memes segment was fire.
