When Greed is Gilded: Crypto and the American Bravery of Taylor and Springsteen
In this episode, Kate reveals the stunning cosmic synchronicity behind one of the most revealing days in recent American politics - and why artists are stepping up when politicians won't.
On May 22nd, two stories crystallized our moment: Congress passed $300 billion in SNAP cuts while Trump hosted a $400 million crypto dinner for meme coin investors - many wearing masks to conceal their identities. The same day working families lost food assistance, wealthy guests paid millions for political access.
But within the same week, Bruce Springsteen and Taylor Swift showed a different kind of courage. Bruce released his "Land of Hope & Dreams" EP with fiery speeches challenging the "corrupt, incompetent and treasonous administration." Taylor allowed her rerecorded "Look What You Made Me Do" to soundtrack The Handmaid's Tale's uprising scene - both artists speaking for the America we said we wanted to be.
Kate invites listeners to see the big picture of the energetic moment we are living through and to contribute heartily to what happens next.
