It won’t result in closed businesses. All you have to do is pass a law that you can’t go out of business. Duh. (Atlas Shrugged, a living example.)

Pouring Gas On Fire Ping !
The raise won’t even cover 20% of the cost of the basic food basket, will bring more hunger and misery for our people.

This statement exposes the myth that wage increases cause inflation. Even with a totalitarian government in charge, wage increases lag inflation, which is actually caused by currency devaluation that is the result of bad government policy.
Higher than Zimbabwe? Really?
All their economic problems are solved.
Take that, you greedy capitalist pigs! You and your pithy little $15/hr demands.
A quote attributed to Albert Einstein goes like this; "Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
Mr Maduro has never read Einstein and doesn't need to as he is heavily guarded by armed soldiers and is comfortable with where his next meal is coming from. HOWEVER, he may need to read some history, specifically about how many autocrats are killed by someone they trust!
but fails to address that the country faces the highest inflation in the world....
It’s not what you make, its what monetary remuneration for your labor, services or goods will get you in return. US currency is definitely suffering from inflationary devaluing of it’s worth. This government will not track actual inflation. Restaurant meal went from $17.99 to 24.99 in 3 years. That’s 39% in 3 years. Stimulus QE cash bubble burst time.
