That's a lot of economists.
That's a great line! A perfect sound bite for the depression era.
That's a lot of beard.
That line is brilliant. Well done!
One thing I find interesting is the different approach of Ehrenreich and Shephard. Ehrenreich set out to endure life with a low-wage job. Shephard set out to do as well as he could, starting with no material possessions. Just think about the difference in psychology there, both in conceiving of the project, and what it would feel like to implement. To endure is misery. To strive to do as well as you can, that is a joyous life.
Good show! Too bad they didn't use your line!
