Episode #42: Why Can't Americans Find Work?

For this episode, Jacob and Eric first react to the good news that the National School Board Association (NSBA) has backed down and apologized for its letter labeling parents as "domestic terrorists," proving that Cancel Culture can work for the Right as well as the Left. After addressing an interesting Newsweek op-ed on how the Right can become the party of the working class once again, as well as Merrick Garland's ridiculous claims of ignorance during congressional testimony, they analyze the root causes of the ongoing labor shortage in the United States, which can be tied more to immigration than to federal unemployment benefits.
