We Talked Policy, Quaffed Some Pints And it was our biggest success so far in our "Policy And A Pint" series, a collaboration between The Current and The Citizen's League of the Twin Cities. We had a sold-out house at The Varsity Theater, and simply not enough time to talk about all the facets of our subject -- the financial hurdles facing young adults today. Thanks to author Tamara Draught, who talked about her book "Strapped: Why Today's 20 and 30-Somethings Can't Get Ahead," as well as MPR's own Chief Economics Guru Chris Farrell, who pitched in with his own take on the phenomenon. If you missed it, we're going to be posting the audio online within the next few hours, hopefully. Watch this space. Posted by Steve Seel at 3:21 PM |
