"I have an 11-year old and I want her to actually have a future. If we’re not focusing on this stuff, if we are talking about trivia, if we’re doing the politics of distraction, you’re putting my 11-year old’s future and everyone else in her generation in deep, deep risk. That is unacceptable."

"... if you think about the people who went to the Capitol building on January the 6th, they were morally outraged, too. You may disagree with those morals, but that was a motivator for their anger.
We got interested in this whole area and we basically settled on a story about macro-angrynomics and micro-angrynomics."

Oh, and as for those mythical "labour shortages"...
(You know, the ones that mysteriously appear whenever centrists are in government, and failing to keep the wage slaves sufficiently beaten down)

"For the last 20 years we've seen 75% of industries grow more concentrated. We've seen consumer options dwindle in certain areas. We've seen options for workers in many areas dwindle.
All of that means higher prices, and it means lower wages for workers as well. One study found that the combination... was costing the typical [US] family $5000 a year."

Nick Hanauer on Biden’s Middle Out economic policies.
“Biden has accomplished more to support working and middle-class Americans in his first two years in office than the last six presidents combined.”
“Because when the middle class does well, the poor have a ladder up and the wealthy still do very well. We all do well.”

"... what has actually led to a situation where our supply chains were just not resilient enough, and were not able to withstand a supply shock of this scale, was a stagnancy in investments, and that is definitely one of the direct outcomes of increased interest rates. So there is a high risk that this is counterproductive and we actually end up making the problem much worse."

"... US markets have become increasingly concentrated and that makes it extremely likely that these companies have been able to increase prices more than costs, and... despite costs coming down, we haven't seen these companies reduce these prices...
...given high levels of market concentration... what we should be expecting is that these firms have a lot of pricing power and that is driving [price rises]."
