Important article. Republicans are beginning to pull away from Wall Street and align with Main Street. The revolution is incomplete and the pressure needs to be kept up. The Democrats are still stuck in the old paradigm and blinded bt TDS. I endorse what Conner said below and would add that it needs to be a particular sort of bipartisanship. Populists of Right and Left need to unite and smite the Establishment in the center. So far I haven't seen much inclination from the Left.
Did you miss Lina Khan? Or Warren siding with Jim Jordan to go after fire truck manufacturers? Or the Chips Act that invested directly in manufacturing? Or Klein and Thompson on Abundance? I mean I don’t think you’re looking hard enough.
News outlets ran an article on the costs of building a firetruck have risen from ~$800k in 2018 to $2mm today. Build times have gone from under a year to 4.5 years. So we are paying double the price and waiting 4x longer to receive these trucks. The Chinese and British are building these things for $400k. PE firms have scooped up a lot of American manufacturers of these trucks and predictably, prices skyrocketed and products worsened.

Haven't seen since the election. Hope it returns
I think you might need to keep looking. Warren and Jordan were last week while Abundance was published two weeks ago.
I picked up on Abundance but waiting to see if it gets traction. Did not pick up on Warren and Jordan. What's that about. Monopoly?

PE would be a good target for populist fusion.
PE, Anti-trust, Consumer Protection, Election finance transparency. Anything that fights corruption and helps the common people.
