I loved this episode Galen. Please take every opportunity to interview articulate academics like Joan whenever you can. This justified a year of monthly subs.

Strange stat in this episode from the guest who talks about her strict methodological definitions. The middle working class is defined as the middle 50% based on income, but the poor is the bottom 30%… that's a double-count overlap of 5%.

Enlightening discussion of the Limo-Demos and a reminder perhaps that the Democratic Party rose from slave holders and whose attitudes have not yet totally adjusted from cultural attitudes that embraced the idea of the elite's right - some may see it as responsibility - to tell everyone else how they should do it.

I'll read the book.
