The episode discusses the interconnection between the energy crisis and the cost of living crisis affecting working Americans.
The cost of living crisis is often discussed as a matter of inflation, wages, and consumer prices. But beneath rising grocery bills, unaffordable housing, and volatile fuel prices lies a deeper and more structural problem: the world is also facing an energy crisis.
