Description
This week, Eric Kohn, Sam Gregg, and Stephen Barrows discuss the “the big quit,” as more than 20 million Americans quit their jobs in the second half of 2021. With more than 10.5 million job openings right now, what does this pandemic-induced change in the labor market mean for workers and employers going forward? Next, they look at President Joe Biden’s speech in Atlanta, Ga., on voting rights, comparing anyone not in agreement with him to being on the side of George Wallace, Bull Connor, and Jefferson Davis. So much for turning down the temperature on political rhetoric. Finally, they examine the incident at Congregation Beth Israel synagogue in Colleyville, Texas. Why is it so hard for some to identify anti-Semitism as anti-Semitism?

What action will the Federal Reserve take? Has the Federal Reserve simply failed? If so, what’s the lesson we should learn? Then the guys discuss the sanctions regime that’s been put on Russia. Are sanctions effective? Are they moral? Are they working? And finally, would you fight for your country if it was invaded? In a new poll, an alarming number of Americans say no. What should be the takeaway from that?</p><p> </p><p><a href="https://www.acton.org/audio" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Subscribe to our podcasts</strong></a></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><a href="https://apnews.com/article/us-inflation-soars-776c03520c90083894fedf31f1a7db00" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">US inflation soared 7.9% in past year, a fresh 40-year high | Associated Pr by Acton Unwind
