Welcome to Crystal Cullen Friends, very excited about the duo we're talking to today,

Margaret Talbot and David Talbot.

They have a fantastic new book about lessons from history.

And this can sound like a little cheesy activist, they're on history in the 60s and 70s.

What they brought to their movement, some of the dissensions, some of the failures, some

of the successes, et cetera, et cetera.

But they bring honesty, unvarnished honesty, and truth-telling to it that makes it super

fascinating, very excited to talk to them.

But want to start with a few things, so $15 wage has apparently become the answer, surprise,

to businesses that are having trouble getting workers.

Turns out Kyle, Cornel Washington Post, that when you pay people a living wage, they actually

want to work for you.

Yeah, I have to say, I'm just happy that they're actually reporting that fact.

They have a couple of good, I mean, you know, we love Devstein.

They have a couple of good economics reporters over the Washington Post, I will say.

But usually, I mean, the usual, like, if this was 10 years ago, I feel like they would

have just buried this story.

You think so?

If I know, like my mom, for example, watches CNBC, you know what they talk about, 24-7 now.

Oh my God, inflation.

Yeah.

Oh my God.
