From taxpayers subsidizing a few corporate giants’ employees, to nearly 100 Brookline residents spontaneously delivering turkey carcasses to Mike Dukakis’s front porch as an act of love, this Boston Public Radio segment has it all. Corby Kummer joins Jim and Margery to dissect why Trump’s tariff rollbacks won’t actually lower your grocery bill (spoiler: companies don’t un-gouge once they’ve gouged), how 74% of Massachusetts SNAP recipients actually work full-time for giant companies, thrifty Americans turning restaurant bone bags into broth, and a memoir from restaurateur Drew Nieporent who built an empire with Robert De Niro before being, well, too difficult. It’s economic injustice meets leftover pizza philosophy, with a side of pure Massachusetts wholesomeness.
