No one likes that. And what abundance does is it points at the progressive movement and says, we are the problem. The things we did in the 1970s are causing us to fail today. We have to change our mentality. And a lot of people are still invested in those ideas.

Pretty much all of our listeners are already Atlantic subscribers because this is the official home of The Atlantic, the official podcast home of The Atlantic, so I'm sure they'll be able to read it.
