There has always in America been a certain class of people whose wealth or comfort or whatever, is built directly upon the poverty or the slavery of other humans, of other Americans, and at that's a legacy we need to grapple with.
Ever feel like the 'hard work pays off' mantra doesn't quite add up? Shannon Curtis and Jamie Hill are back on the Misfit Stars Podcast to dive deeper into this idea. Building on their last chat, they explore how work and class are intertwined, and the shadow of poverty and slavery that still looms over society. Inspired by an Ezra Klein piece, this episode promises to challenge your views on what hard work really means in America.
Alongside this heavy topic, Shannon and Jamie also discuss their anti-racist book and movie club, the crisis of confidence speech, and the Documental newsletter. Their personal stories and reflections remind us all to be kind to ourselves and each other. Tune in for a thought-provoking conversation that might just change how you see the world.
