Workers Get Less While Culture Wars Get Louder | Filtered with TJ Walker

from Filtered with TJ Walker

American workers are producing more, but receiving a smaller share of the economic rewards. In this episode of Filtered with TJ Walker, TJ looks at the shrinking labor share of the U.S. economy, record corporate profits, stagnant worker pay, and the political culture wars that keep voters focused on everything except one basic question: Who gets the money?TJ also takes on the strange distrust of DEET, asking why some people who say they “follow the science” suddenly reject decades of scientific evidence when the subject is insect repellent. From mosquitoes and Lyme disease to confirmation bias and “natural” alternatives, he breaks down the difference between a personal preference and a scientific claim.Then, Donald Trump and Michael Cohen are back together. After years of public attacks, criminal cases, testimony, prison, and Cohen helping prosecutors build cases against Trump, Cohen is once again calling Trump “boss” while seeking a presidential pardon. TJ examines the remarkable reunion, what Cohen has, and has not, recanted, and why forgiveness looks very different when one person has the power to erase your federal conviction.Subscribe to Filtered with TJ Walker for political commentary, current events, satire, media criticism, and personal-development insights without the usual partisan filter.#FilteredWithTJWalker #TJWalker #AmericanWorkers #CorporateProfits #Wages #Economy #CultureWar #DonaldTrump #MichaelCohen #DEET #Politics #PoliticalSatire #USPolitics #CurrentEvents #LaborFiltered with TJ Walker, TJ Walker, American workers, worker wages, labor share, corporate profits, US economy, wage stagnation, working class, culture wars, political culture war, cost of living, Donald Trump, Michael Cohen, Trump Cohen, Michael Cohen pardon, Trump pardon, DEET, insect repellent, mosquito repellent, EPA DEET, science misinformation, confirmation bias, political satire, political commentary, US politics, current events, economic inequality
