“What do falling fertility in the United States, a plague of loneliness and lack of friendship, bitter conflicts over racial and gender identity, and a politics of culture wars and moral panics have to do with one another?” The answer to that question, according to a compelling new book, is too many bad, low-wage jobs.
Michael Lind is a bestselling author, a columnist at Tablet Magazine, and a co-founder and fellow at the New America think tank. His latest book is Hell to Pay: How the Suppression of Wages Is Destroying America.
Michael Lind is my guest, today on Lean Out. Transcript to come for paid subscribers.

Excellent!! This is the kind of thing i don't hear anywhere else. And my attitude on immigration in Canada is confirmed by this guest.
What i hear is we need more extract resource industries and pipelines cause we need the jobs and then a while goes by and i hear we don't have enough workers so we need more immigration. I suppose the oil and gas sector pays pretty good, and the immigrants are here to serve the well paid workers. Shit, that really does sound like racism.
Another great interview Tara. Thank you!
