I want JON STEWART to run in 2028. Please, in the name of all things good and decent in this world, throw your hat in the ring!

If all these companies re-shore manufacturing, where will the workers come from? The fired civil service? Is a research scientist or an admin assistant going to start a new career on an assembly line?

It would be nice if someone could show us that re-shored manufacturing work will require human workers?

@weeklyshowpodcast.bsky.social, Jon, with all the people you have access to and the information of their expertise, have you been involved in writing legislation for any of the topics you discuss on your shows?

blueskybobm.bsky.social•2 days ago

Very informative discussion. I was browsing you tube and happened onto your show. What a great find.

If you don’t know it already, know that your audience is largely the activists on the ground doing the work.

Thank you for giving a platform to these economic perspectives.

Jon, please consider having Cliff Cash, comedian, and activist on your podcast.

Great show! I agree the Democratic Party doesn’t exist in any useful capacity. But the Democratic Party needs to restructure and come back again. We need a strong capable leader to come it forward. My question do you have an idea who that leader might be? If not what can we do to find that person?

Does Jon think the ultimate goal of Musk and the billionaire tec-bros is dismantling the government's ability to stop them from exploiting the working class? Is the ultimate goal one of creating a new serf class to do their bidding?

Great show. Nice to hear people actually think about how economies have changed over time. It really doesn't seem like the Trump regime is thinking about the realities of living in the modern world. And the Dems are largely absent from the discussion, except for Bernie and AOC.

Ok question for these economists,can they address what I think is a big fat elephant in the room about what played an important role in the rise of the middle class? Sure policies, great, but maybe they should address the 2 f@&$&king world wars?

Jon, we need more of you right now! Twice a week (Mon/Thurs) is not enough for our sanity.

Manufacturing is not coming back based on whimsical tariffs which could be reversed next month. We've lost decades of expertise, and there are plenty of countries left to offshore to -- Russia will be favored.

This is a friendly reminder that Donald Trump does in fact have a gold plated toilet.

I agree that there is a billionaire power play but the only other conclusion I get to, as to why all this change, is Racism.. send everything to the states where the local racists can discriminate as they did in the past.

rfglass64.bsky.social•1 day ago

And let's make sure we do not become a white minority in 2040 as the patterns appear to portend...I truly find no other answer, as I too struggle with the question of why.

When you have someone who is not an elected official and has seemingly unlimited resources it rally is a scary sci-fi scenario. Musk has just installed Starlink in the WH, blatantly pays legislators who agree with impeaching judges, and has carte blanche in firing every federal employee. Bad scary.

And now financial thumb on the scales in Wisconsin election.
