The Latest Layoff: Stephen Colbert's Crash Course in Economics

from The Rational Workforce

Stephen Colbert isn’t losing his show because of politics. He’s losing it because declining viewership and $40M in losses don’t lie. (But sure, let’s blame Trump.) In this episode, we torch elite bubble logic, examine who actually pays the price when shows fail, and remind the overpaid and underperforming: welcome to the real world. Viewer discretion advised (especially if your safe space has WiFi).
