Working people are struggling to afford groceries, housing, healthcare, and basic necessities while billionaires and corporations continue accumulating extraordinary wealth. Sound familiar? Charles Dickens explored this kind of class inequality in A Tale of Two Cities. More than 150 years later, the parallels are difficult to ignore.
In this episode, we examine the economic frustration behind the 2026 midterm elections, Americans' growing financial insecurity, rising living costs, healthcare affordability, and the Democrats' promises of economic relief. We also look at corporate power, billionaire wealth, and why public institutions like libraries are becoming increasingly important as household budgets tighten.
