In Part 2 of Why Are We Broke? | Part 2: Housing, Inflation, and the Price of Survival, we dives into the everyday costs that make life unaffordable, even for Americans working full-time.

We move beyond wages and into the real, grinding pressure of trying to afford housing, groceries, gas, healthcare, and childcare in today’s economy.

We unpack:

Why rent and home prices exploded after COVID  and why they’re staying high

How grocery chains and big corporations used inflation as an excuse to raise prices and pad profits (“greedflation”)

How Wall Street and corporate landlords turned housing into an investment game

Why basic human needs like food and shelter should never be driven by shareholder profit

If you’ve ever wondered why your paycheck disappears by the first of the month, why rent is swallowing half your income, or why corporate profits are setting records while you struggle to keep up this episode breaks it all down.

This isn’t just an economic issue, it’s a survival issue.
