Unintended consequences

By Loren Kaye

"On a hot day last summer, I rolled up to the drive-in window of a local McDonald's and the woman working the register wiped her glistening brow and said "Whew!" as a little wave of chilled air escaped from my window into hers. "Air conditioner broken?" I asked. "Yeah. Has been for a week," she replied. While munching on my fries in the cool comfort of my car, I recalled Gordon Tullock's lesson (I heard it from him, at any rate) that a higher minimum wage might not increase unemployment, but it sure might decrease the electricity bill."
