Hey guys! Long time listener and proud premium subscriber! As I type this, news has broken that Dems have floated cutting paid family leave to appease corporatists like Manchin and Sinema. As someone who has campaigned in years past to help push progressive policies/candidates, how can leftists fight back against the “do nothing” attitude of the Washington establishment without getting burned out and “throwing in the towel?”
A big fan and a bigger Thank You to both of you for your chance taking and courage to push into the depths... Saagar - you mentioned that you are very into reading about WWI right now. For someone like me, who has read more about WWII and the Civil War, what would be your 2 "must reads" for this often forgotten / diminished / unsexy / little brother event in our world's history.

I read a Forbes article recently that questioned the current supply chain shortage and inflation. If you can find it go check it out. It is from Oct 24th by John Tamny. I am curious about your thoughts on his argument. Is it something valid or lacking context and good facts? You all are amazing and I look forward to every week's episodes ❤
What do the two of you think about the balance between labor power and immigration? I have seen some articles/takes on now would be a great time for increasing immigration due to the “labor shortage.” Is that a neo-liberal con or a chance to use this moment to reduce cruelty in our immigration system?
