Russ' political views have been drifting steadily right over time so the data that he cherry picks regarding inflation, total household income, income inequality, is not surprising. I used to listen to his podcast pretty frequently to get a different perspective on econ but now it's pretty painful due to his increasing inability to see outside his own bubble.
- Jgrubb 8y agoThat's funny, I unsubscribed just this week for the same reason.
- cmurphycode 8y agoI agree, but I don't have an alternative with the range/quality of guests he interviews. Any suggestions?
- sarcher 8y agoThere was a guest this summer who noted that unmarried and areligious people are "emasculated". The guest also received zero push-back while implying that immigrants were purposefully being directed by the government to avoid assimilation and that we should return to harsh methods for dealing with immigrants. Russ just let the whole statement slide by without comment. Have conversations with difficult people, sure, but have a conversation, don't just let stuff like that slide by! Not sure how long I'll be subscribed if those attitudes keep receiving clear air.
