We\u2019ve spent the past five weeks trying to make sense of this moment, where the inequalities of our society have been suddenly set in high relief. In that time, you all have written in with a bunch of questions big and small. Today, we\u2019re going to cap off this pop-up season by answering a few of them. Questions like: What would chicken cost if plant workers got better wages and benefits? And how did health insurance get tied to our jobs anyway? We\u2019ll also look back at two very clear moments, both after pandemics, when economic inequality started to fall dramatically.
\nThanks so much to everyone who listened and sent in questions. We\u2019ll be back later this year with new episodes. Until, then, there\u2019s always our first three seasons.
