Richard Chew is joined by Lindsay Owens, executive director of the economic think tank Groundwork Collaborative and author of the upcoming book “Gouged: The End of a Fair Price in America.”

Owens highlighted the think tank's focus on making the economy work for everyone, emphasizing the rising cost of living as a primary concern. She criticized corporations for profiteering during a time of inflation, citing examples like Kroger, and urged listeners to contact their representatives and use social media to voice their consumer concerns. Owens discussed the economic impact of Donald Trump's tariffs and the recently passed Republican budget reconciliation law, noting a decline in Trump's economic approval ratings, which she attributed to his policies' negative impact on living costs, including health care, food, and energy.
