NOTE TO SUBSCRIBERS: Despite the multiple setbacks we have experienced over the last several months in our efforts to continue producing and releasing Economic Update here on YouTube, we are very excited to announce the return of Economic Update to YouTube as of today. Over the next few days/weeks we will be releasing episodes of EU we were unable to share with our community of subscribers throughout the summer.

You can find out more about why we were unable to deliver EU to you here on YouTube by going to our website: https://www.democracyatwork.info and signing up for our newsletter that is scheduled to resume weekly distribution next week. Remember to check back here regularly as we continue to resume delivering the content and work we enjoy sharing with you and the rest of the world. Thanks as always for your attention & support,

The d@w Team

This week's updates focus on the ridiculously low ranking of the U.S. among OECD nations, why & how mega-corps get richer faster than we do, the palpable solidarity between the Labor Unions and the writers' strike in the U.S, the UPS teamsters 97% vote to strike beginning on Aug 1, and how Pfizer fails to maintain supplies of penicillin. The major topics of discussion include why global inequality among nations is now falling, and why the phrase "socialism does not work" is flat out wrong.
