Kimberly and Hillary, two friends who have been around politics and government, come together from opposite sides of the aisle and discuss the positives and negatives of globalization on the American job market...and have a few laughs along the way.







We sponsor Amirah House, an anti-human trafficking home in New England, for this episode.







Podcast segments: What are we talking about?, What needs fixing?, and Brainstorm Better Governance. Most importantly, we zing each other at the end of each episode with “epic” partisan one-liners. Vote for your favorites on our Instagram, The Civil Discourse Society, so one of us can have bragging rights.







What Are We Talking About?







How has globalization affected the US job market? How do Americans feel about it?







What Needs Fixing?







Wage Compression







Factual knowledge on immigrants in the U.S. job market







Changing the basket of goods for richer and poorer households







Brainstorm Better Governance







Expand E-Verify







More emphasis on plumbing, electrical, and contractor work in school







Education campaign about immigration







Higher incomes purchase more Fair Trade items







Zingers







Hey Hillary, why do Democrats hate buffets? Because they don't get to control everyone's food choices!







Hey Kimberly, why did the Republicans move their factories overseas? They didn't want immigrants to steal the jobs they were creating at home.
