Hooked on Bidenomics with David Dayen & Erin Lennox (Ep 199)

No Justice, No Jeeps! The UAW strikes and President Biden tries to curry workers' favor. But union President Shawn Fain won't be wooed so easily. Executive editor of The American Prospect, David Dayen joins Francesca in The Bitchuation Room to explain the ins and outs of the strike and how green energy is wrongly being pitted against good jobs. And scabs repenting in "real time" as both Drew Barrymore and Bill Maher reverse their decisions to bring back their talk shows in the midst of the actors and writers' strikes. Then, climate protests coincide with a UN summit that doesn't involve the oil and gas industries. Imagine that. Finally, actors are auctioning off mundane tasks for strike funds. What would we want which actor to do for us? *wink*
