The "dismal science" and climate change. They collide, because "how we gonna pay for all this?"

Clarified economics suggest there are some means to pay, but these need to be more central in public policy.

Later today at 8p Eastern, 5p Pacific #RealProgressives will be hosting their regular get-together "Macro and Chill," featuring Prof. Fadhel Kaboub and centering on climate reparations and how to finance those.

Steve Grumbine used to be a Republican. When his life hit the skids in 2009, the lies his worldview had been built upon came crashing down around him, and he broke left-- hard.

By 2016 he was an outspoken advocate for radical change and an enthusiastic supporter of Bernie's campaign, but he hasn't been fooled by the sheepdoggery and didn't cave to VBNMW bullshit. He refuses to pander or sell out and keeps on trucking even as the algorithms try to bury his work.

He's mad as hell, but he doesn't stoop to the abusive tantrums, schoolyard insults, melodramatic clickbait, or flamewars that all too many people get bogged down in. I've been following his work for years and this entire time he's remained steady, focused, and grounded. I actually trust his integrity and his moral compass, and I always feel better after I listen to him talk.

He goes very in-depth on economics, particularly in his podcast Macro and Cheese, and honestly that stuff is mostly over my head-- financial topics fill me with rage and my brain reflexively dumps most of it as junk information-- but if you're into that sort of thing, the educational resources Steve and his team have put together are extensive!
