In the Moode for Real History

In this week's episode we discuss this past week's winter storm in Texas that left millions without power in near subzero temperatures. Meanwhile, their own Senator, Ted Cruz, decided to serve himself a daquiri in Cancun. We also tackle a topic that hits close to home for nearly 44 million Americans; student debt. We discuss the transformational difference that forgiving  1.7 trillion dollars in debt would have not only on the economy, but our nation as a whole.

What was supposed to be a day of celebration quickly turned into chaos and shame after President Trump incited a violent insurrection against the U.S. Capitol. We discuss the events leading up to this attempted coup, the hypocritical reactions that highlight two different Americas, and what to expect in the attack's aftermath.

In part one of this three part series, we will look at how neoliberal policies have only led to the exploitation of the working class. The case being made here isn't a Democrat or Republican argument. These three episodes will provide three policies (federal job guarantee, baby bonds, reparations)  that transcend political parties to raise up those who have been left behind. 

In FDR's 1944 State of the Union Address, he observed that "needful men are not free men. Those who are hungry and out of a job are the stuff of which dictators are made." FDR saw that full citizenship demanded more than political rights, but required economic rights, most importantly the right to a useful job. More so now than ever before this need for a right to a secure, well paying job is essential. A Federal Job Guarantee is one major policy that not only helps those left behind, but helps transition our economy into a new green century.

In this episode we discuss how Congress approved of a watered down 900 billion dollar coronavirus relief package. A day after the United States reported 167,000 new cases and passed 317,000 deaths, we finally have a follow up to the initial CARES Act. We debate whether this watered down bill is better than nothing or should we demand more from our leaders.

How would a guaranteed income of $1,000 sound? Or what about a guaranteed job with a living wage and bargaining power? In this episode we debate two options, a universal basic income versus a federal jobs guarantee, that would provide provide relief to millions of struggling Americans. While we are in the middle of not only a pandemic but an economic and financial crisis now more than ever Americans are hurting. By the end of December, 19 million Americans will be evicted in the middle of winter. Millions of Americans are out of work. We both chose our side, now it is up to you to decide which you believe would help us reach a more equitable economy and society.

In this week's episode we cover everything your history books didn't tell you about looting. In fact, looting has a long and storied role in our nation's history, just not in the way you picture. Why is the Boston Tea Party celebrated as a patriotic event in history textbooks, but the rioting over the summer viewed as a crime? We call out these hypocrisies and the role that race plays in perceptions of looting.
