In case you haven't heard, there's a "labor shortage" (and a pandemic or whatever.) Many small business owners claim to be understaffed and believe that the pandemic assistance & unemployment benefits are to blame because they allow workers to be comfortable at home instead of in the workforce. Republicans (including our old "friend of labor" Marco Rubio) are calling on Biden to end all unemployment assistance to push workers back into the workforce. At the same time, Biden seems to have woken up and remembered Clinton Era welfare reform and vowed to get tough on employment fraud (if anyone offers you a job you must take it or lose the benefits) even though he claims unemployment fraud isn't much of an issue. What they agree on is that, if at all possible, desperate workers should be forced back into the workforce at the first available opportunity.
We discuss some other possibilities to solve this issue: allowing benefits to continue even if workers decide to return to work, UBI, and using this as a moment to demand higher wages, as well as worker co-ops so workers could collectively decide when opening up is safe.

**************************
It's time. We're going to subject you to some videos from the National Conservatism conferences and debunk the lunacy found therein. We're sorry but you know what you were getting into when you signed up as a fan of this podcast.
Before that, Jason Myles of This is Revolution will be coming on to look at some clips from the great Ana Kasparian's recent debate with Dennis Prager. Then at the end of the episode, an organizer for the October 6th #BansOffOurBodies National Student Strike for abortion rights will come on to briefly chat about what they've got planned, and Ben and the crew will do a toast to Lula's win in the first round of the Brazilian election--on to the second round in a few weeks! Last but most definitely not least, C. Derrick Varn of Varn Vlog (and TiR Gaming Materialists) fame will be hanging out in the postgame for GTAA patrons.

Author Thomas Frank (https://twitter.com/thomasfrank_) (https://tcfrank.com/) joins Ben Burgis to discuss the history and the present day reality of the Democratic Party. Some of Frank’s books include, “Listen, Liberal: Or, Whatever Happened to the Party of the People?,” “What’s the Matter with Kansas? How Conservatives Won the Heart of America,” and “The Wrecking Crew: How Conservatives Rule,” among others.
Frank cofounded and edited “The Baffler” (https://twitter.com/thebafflermag) magazine. His most recent book is “The People, No: A Brief History of Anti-Populism,” which discusses how the term “populism” is currently used to describe the racist philosophy of Donald Trump and European extremists, but that populism is actually “an account of enlightenment and liberation; it is the story of American democracy itself, of its ever-widening promise of a decent life for all.”
