Part 1:
We talk with Art Jipson, Associate Professor of Sociology at the University of Dayton.
We discuss the "new apostolic reformation" (NAR), which is part of a charismatic pentecostal movement to remake society by using their interpretation of the bible. We discuss some aspects of this in detail, and how political power is used to advance their religious goals.
Part 2:
We talk with Jeannette Wick-Lim, a Research Professor at the Political Economy Research Institute.
We discuss how the sub-minimum wage was set, and how it has not budged since 1991. This is for tipped and agricultural workers. This wage level does not support a reasonable standard of living, but the cost is constantly used to deny any increase in this wage to the workers. These workers are primarily minorities and women. Many are undocumented.
