Three in four Americans are retiring without the money they need to live a dignified life. When unions are at the negotiating table, that’s the kind of crisis they need to be thinking about.

New on The Dig: Confronting Labor's Crisis w/ Micah Uetricht & Chris Brooks It’s no surprise to our listeners that the US labor movement has long been in serious crisis - but we might soon be hitting a point of no return, after which the revival of organized labor might not be possible.

How did China become able to build so much, so quickly? It expelled the capitalists. Listen to Ben Tarnoff and Quinn Slobodian on our latest episode, Muskism

Ben Tarnoff quote arguing that China’s rapid building reflects state control over investment—rooted in a communist revolution that expropriated capitalists—rather than engineers’ dominance, a legacy Silicon Valley won’t contemplate.

Musk helped create our technological infrastructure - a tool that people used to undermine conventions of gender, sex, class, and race. That’s why he sought to control these platforms - to ensure that they strengthened a conservative social order.

There's an asymmetry between the scales of operation of capital and municipal government - and because of that cities have had to figure out growth models. What they've landed upon has been forever appreciating property values. pod.fo/e/5ebd27

White flight suburbanization, which was subsidized by the federal government, drew capital out of Black urban spaces - taking wealth outside of their jurisdictions and making it harder to provide social services. And that speaks to a broader problem facing the left. pod.fo/e/5ebd27
