In case you haven’t noticed, <a href="https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/trumps-roaring-economy-meets-a-rough-start-to-2026-with-job-losses-rising-gas-prices-and-uncertainty">the American economy isn't doing so well right now</a>. Oil prices have been on an absolute rollercoaster since the Iran war began — but that’s not all. On Friday, the <a href="https://thehill.com/business/5771016-us-loses-92000-jobs-in-february-falling-far-short-of-expected-gain/">Bureau of Labor Statistics reported</a> that the U.S. lost nearly 100,000 jobs in February, pushing the unemployment rate up to 4.4 percent. So what exactly is going wrong with the economy, besides… everything? And what can we learn from past economic crises to hopefully avoid another one? To find out, we spoke to Rogé Karma. He’s a staff writer at The Atlantic and author of the economy-focused newsletter, Work in Progress.And in headlines, Jane speaks to Crooked’s Washington Correspondent Matt Berg about a report that <a href="https://www.axios.com/2026/03/10/world-war-iran-conflict-countries">at least 20 countries</a> are now militarily involved in the Iran war, the Democratic National Committee <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2026/03/10/us/politics/democrats-sue-to-find-out-if-trump-will-send-armed-officers-to-election-sites.html">suing</a> the Trump administration, and how <a href="https://www.wired.com/story/flying-cars-will-take-off-in-american-skies-this-summer/">flying cars</a> are actually, maybe, really happening.Show Notes:</div><ul>
