Happy 250th! (thread 13), Episode 6: If Eugene Debs Walked into Tech HQs: Who Owns the Future?

Imagine dropping Eugene Debs into modern America — he'd marvel at the tech, then ask the same blunt question: who owns all of this? Hed see familiar patterns: concentrated wealth, precarious work, and everyday people left to shoulder the risks.

This episode traces Debs's life and ideas in a way that feels shockingly current: about dignity, solidarity, and who really benefits from the economy. It's a short, honest check-in on whether progress has actually improved people's lives.
