On Strike! Bidenomics = Workers Get SCREWED + Billionaires Make Bank
What is Bidenomics and why are the Democrats trying to gaslight us into liking it?? Hear from Bia Lacombe and Kshama Sawant (who is a PhD economist as well as socialist) about what’s actually going on with the economy and why corporate politicians and mainstream economists twist the facts to defend the capitalist system. Also, we give an update on the exciting news from UAW about the tentative agreements recently announced with the Big Three automakers. In just one year, from 2022 to 2023, a dozen eggs went from costing $1.93 to $4.82! Working people can barely afford groceries, rent, and gas. Meanwhile, the richest 1 percent grabbed nearly two-thirds of all new wealth created since 2020, worth 42 trillion dollars, which is almost twice as much money as the bottom 99 percent of the world's population have. But somehow, the Democrats and corporate media won’t stop saying that the economy is amazing and it’s all thanks to Bidenomics. According to them, if you disagree with that, well then you’re a right-wing sucker or a moron. And yet, only 28 percent of Americans said they were "very" or "somewhat" satisfied with the state of the economy, and Biden's economic approval rating sits at 37 percent. So when it comes to all the Bidenomics chest-thumping, ordinary Americans have just NOT been feeling it. On Strike is 100% funded by working people.
