I think the biggest problem with the way politics is talked about in pop culture is that it's centered on politicians and legislation instead of donors and agendas.
What if we all just start rewriting political tweets en masse with donor names instead the politicians names? An example would be tweets about the destruction of USPS. Instead of Trump and Dejoy, we're replace them with Frederick W Smith and David P Abney, the founders and CEO's of UPS and FedEx. They've spent hundreds of millions on lobbying and contributions.
Smith and Abney put a hit out on USPS and Trump and Dejoy are the the guys taking the contract. Shouldn't our economic and political discourse focus on the sources of the decisions, the donor-class?
Does anyone listen to any entertaining finance podcasts that aren't soulless?
