We talk to Don Leonard about the economy, and how it affects working people. We examine how the CPI is calculated. We also discuss the living wage required by Americans.
Part 2:
We talk with Gautam Jan, Senior Research Scholar at Columbia University.
What can Trump do, and what can't he do about the climate crisis. Trump's "energy dream team" can and will likely withdraw the US from the Paris Climate Accords, but find it more difficult to withdraw from the 1992 international agreement, which was approved by Congress.
Market forces will likely force some kind of climate action. The steps taken will probably be by other countries, who will dominate the clean energy market. However the IRA in the US has mostly benefited the 'red' states, and monies may not be easily withdrawn by Trump. The actions are likely to be resisted by Republican governors and others.
