    Minimum Wage, Racism & The Politics of Who Gets Ahead

    Got something to say to this podcast? Send a voicemail, and you might hear yourself on the next episode! 💰 Working full-time shouldn’t mean struggling just to pay the rent. And your vote should matter—no matter who you are. In this episode of Cold World w/ DVJ & Michelle, DVJ takes on two major issues affecting everyday Americans: the rising cost of living and the role race continues to play in American politics. The conversation begins with the minimum wage. DVJ breaks down what it means to work 40 hours a week and still struggle to cover rent, groceries, gas, and other bills. Drawing from his own work experiences, he argues that raising wages could make a meaningful difference for working families. He also discusses Wisconsin’s minimum wage, differences between states, and why the cost of living matters when talking about wages. Then the discussion turns to voting, the governor’s race, and the history of Black representation in American politics. DVJ shares his perspective on why so few Black Americans have been elected governor or president, and why he believes racism remains a major factor. He also speaks passionately about political divisions within the Black community, stereotypes, and the way some people judge others who are struggling financially or have been impacted by the criminal justice system. The episode also touches on Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Donald Trump, political accountability, and the importance of making your voice heard—including the right to vote while incarcerated. This is a candid conversation about economic fairness, race, politics, and the realities of everyday life. DVJ shares his personal views and encourages listeners to think critically, do their research, and participate in the political process. 🎙️ Tune in to Cold World w/ DVJ & Michelle for real talk about the issues that matter. #ColdWorldPodcast #ColdWorldWithDVJAndMichelle #MilwaukeePodcast #Milwaukee #WisconsinPolitics #MinimumWage #RaiseTheMinimumWage #CostOfLiving #EconomicJustice #WorkingClass #VotingMatters #MidtermElections #BlackRepresentation #Racism #AOC #DonaldTrump #CriminalJustice #JailVoting #RealTalk
