Ep 975: The 'C' Word
from The Professional Left Podcast with Driftglass and Blue Gal · host Driftglass and Blue Gal
Episode 975 takes a trip back to Chicago to explore how big cities weather economic shocks that would destroy smaller towns—a lesson that matters as Trump's oil crisis, job losses, and ACA cuts hit rural Trump voters hardest. Driftglass and Blue Gal examine the fragile interconnectedness of small-town economies and why cascade failures are coming to red America, where MAGA voters are about to learn the hard way that Obamacare and the ACA are the same thing. The episode explores how scale matters in both directions, from moving government jobs between cities to surviving the economic voodoo practiced by a corrupt racist lunatic. Plus, a language lesson about Gen Z reclaiming the "C" word, and how that impacts us "olds." More at proleftpod.com.Stay in Touch!
