Nice try on political economics Jeff but this loss is a complicated stew of death by a thousand cuts.
NAFTA pushed by Clinton, the Great Recession and COVID were a big part of it. It's been pointed out that actual voters don't want to see charts when they go to the grocery store and the bill keeps going up.....
This. Jeff, your rant about how “they don’t know how good they actually have it” is reminiscent of when Fox News would ask poor people if they had a refrigerator or a VCR/DVR/smart phone.
Thanks for the input. I did not realize the audio includes an already written essay. First, the titles are different, the written is "Some Democrats Think the Disease is the Cure," while the audio is "A Bit More Post-Election Analysis." Also, when I listened to the first bit of the podcast, there are about 15 minutes of new material before the reading begins.
Some of your assertions are flat-out wrong here. Peak percentage of dual-income households happened around late-'90s and remained consistent till Great Recession and then Pandemic forced people out of work. The pseudo-progressive narrative of eternal perpetual growth is severely flawed and you're smart enough to know that.

Thanks for shitting on Neoliberalism.
Everytime I see that term my head explodes. WTF is it?
De-regulated markets for this most part.
Ok thanks!
FTC I think you mean right? Not FCC
Be curious to see that graph overlapping cost increases.
“Who are you?” Geez thanks for causing a life crisis on Sunday…
Please consider buying the software to make transcripts of the audio material available. Please.
The transcript of him reading the written articles?
"transcripts of the audio material." This is in the comment section of an IMBW audio.
Which is audio of him reading what he already wrote.
I want to be clear, you should read this in a nice, non condescending tone. I'm not trying to be rude here.

That 15 minutes of new material is the redeeming feature of these reruns.....
Exactly, which is what those of us who prefer not to listen to material are missing.

I like the old music, the history, and the jokes. The politics is narrow and tiring.
I am the guy who liked both pieces, 50-ish guy from the central California coast.
