How do we measure what really matters?

Hello friends,

Welcome back to my Saturday coffee klatch with my colleague Heather Lofthouse (Executive Director of Inequality Media Civic Action — and my former student), where we talk about the highs and lows of the week over morning coffee. Pull up a chair.

Today we cover:

— Friday’s jobs report, and why the media is getting it wrong.

— Billionaire influence over the midterm elections.

— Saudi’s stabbing America in the back on oil.

— Why we need a monthly report on corporate profits.

— Why Heather likes to walk her dog while listening to Chopin and Beyoncé.

— My laptop’s keyboard, which is getting worn out (see below).

I think I need a new keyboard
