Michel Martin reflects on the divides that seemed particularly prevalent during and after the 2016 election, and what comes next.
Restructuring is something you read about. It’s a layoff when it’s happening to you. Somebody can tell you 24 hours a day that technology and globalization brings more goods at lower prices, but if you’re on the losing end of it, so what?
But it doesn’t matter if you correctly diagnose a problem if the prescription is all wrong.
it has been and remains so unproductive to focus on perceived enemies rather than real problems, no matter how deplorable or alien you think the enemy may be.
Let’s hope for the body politic that the diagnosis and the treatment are worthy of the pain.
