The tables are turning in America's one-sided class war that working people tend to lose. Strikes are cropping up nationwide, and workers are no longer settling for underpaid jobs, and everyone is sharing HBOMax passwords! #Solidarity. Stimulus checks have meant there’s a bit more more ‘fuck you money’ as economist Doug Henwood observes, leading to what some are calling The Great Resignation. Henwood joins to discuss how reckless the one percent has been and how much the pandemic has exposed that the ways we usually conceive of the economy are in and of themselves, bankrupt. Plus comedian Nato Green on Trump’s new social media fail and what Alec Baldwin’s accidental murder says about workers’ rights on film sets. AND a Patreon Only *Bonus Bish* about which supernatural creatures 53% of Trumpers believe in. Guests:  Doug Henwood, Economist and Journalist: https://twitter.com/DougHenwood Nato Green, Comedian and Union Organizer: https://twitter.com/natogreen  Join the Franifa and become a Patron today: www.patreon.com/bitchuationroomFollow The Bitchuation Room on Twitter @BitchuationPodGet your TBR merch: www.bitchuationroom.comThanks to Rebecca Rufer, Maximillien Inhoff, Ellie Hoffman, Alexandra OrnessMusic Credits: The Cannery by Kevin MacLeodLink: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/4485-the-canneryLicense: https://filmmusic.io/standard-licenseSupport The Bitchuation Room on: Venmo: @TBR-LIVE Cash-App: @TBRLIVE  Check Out The Bitchuation Room Podcast iTunes: http://bit.ly/iTunesbitchuationSpotify: http://bit.ly/spotifybitchuation Stitcher: http://bit.ly/stitcherbitchuation Find Francesca On: Twitter: https://twitter.com/franifio YouTube: The Bitchuation Room’s channel: https://www.youtube.com/franifio Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/franifioFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/FranifioInsta: https://www.instagram.com/franifio/
