How Rage Bait Runs Our Economy

from Raging Moderates with Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov · host Vox Media Podcast Network

Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov dig into Trump’s latest anti-immigrant crackdown—from firing nearly 100 immigration judges to freezing visas and floating denaturalization — and what happens when policy is driven by panic instead of evidence. Then they break down the viral post arguing the real poverty line isn’t $32K… it’s closer to $140K, and why so many families feel stuck in the “Valley of Death.” Plus, Oxford just crowned “rage bait” as its Word of the Year, so they unpack how outrage became the internet’s favorite currency — and what it means for our politics.
