Happy Monday! Sam and Emma host Jon Shelton, professor at the University of Wisconsin at Green Bay, to discuss his recent book The Education Myth: How Human Capital Trumped Social Democracy. "The Education Myth" challenges the prevailing notion that education is the primary avenue to economic opportunity in America. Author Jon Shelton explores the historical shift in the perception of education's role in society, revealing that its connection to economic well-being was not always inevitable. While early public education aimed to foster democratic participation, the mid-20th century saw the rise of the education myth, stifling social democratic alternatives and sidelining notions of economic security and social dignity for all. Shelton tracks the transformation from the 1960s onward, as both Democrats and Republicans, including figures like Lyndon Johnson, Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, and George W. Bush, perpetuated this myth, leading to an unequal economy and a deeply divided political landscape over the past four decades.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott has effectively shut down the US/Mexico border in his state. He did this in the name of stopping the flow of drugs and migrants into the US, but really it was a theatrical stunt to appeal to the far-right and get on Tucker Carlson's Fox News show. Instead, Texas is looking at empty shelves of produce in the grocery stores and even people in his own party are criticizing him.

Guest: So Abbott has been having state troopers inspect commercial vehicles that are coming over from Mexico. and I'm sure most people are aware a lot of trade comes over from Mexico on a daily basis. and this has caused huge snags in the supply chain hours upon hours. I think it's important to remember too that while there's the bureaucratic nightmare on the u.s. side of the border. Truckers in Mexico have staged protests to basically say we're going to shut down the border too. and oftentimes that has been sort of overshadowed so we want to shout those people out for using their labor power to to make a point. but you know the far windows, a bridge alone, like 70 million dollars a day of goods are coming across that border. Mexican agencies have been saying around 8 million dollars a day has just been lost in all of this kind of madness. and a significant amount of trucks are now just rerouting around texas. you know they're going to other ports of entry in Arizona. you know and it was almost immediately a disaster politically. Sid Miller who's the agricultural commissioner here came out and he was one of the first people to really hit abbot hard. Sid Miller is a republican but has a very weird relationship with Abbott. Apparently Greg Abbott hasn't returned one of his emails ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cSUjD-Gm2iM
