A single best idea and just one vignette into what we do and how things get emotional. Once years ago, Reggie Jackson was sitting next to me, the giant of Yankees Baseball, and I'd done a little bit of my time keen homework, and I said, did you ever talk to your father about playing with Willie Mays? And he stopped cold out of Oakland, California, generations ago talking about
his father and the impact that Willie Mays had on him. Today, we had that in Bloomberg Surveillance and single best idea. We had a football player who completely changed the game. There's maybe two or three others across the span of one hundred years that have done it. Frank Tarketing came in. I didn't say it on air, I said seventy nine in holding. He is the most vigorous eighty five year
old I have ever met. It was just an extraordinary moment to speak to frand targetin about the state of the game, about his really unique background in Georgia and in Washington, and of course about the future of technology, which he's working on as a business enterprise right now. The business enterprise of America is about jobs. Nancy Lazarre was with US hyper Sandler Today. Here's Nancy Lazarre on our manufacturing renaissance.
We've called it the US manufacturing renaissance started back in twenty ten. Middle America. It is our favorite emerging market. You're seeing it certainly within on employment rates around individual states that are more business are more business friendly. So and current policies certainly are going to reinforce bringing back blue collar jobs to the United States, and so we're
quite excited. At first. The private sector started back in twenty ten, the corporate tax cut in seventeen reinforced it, and now full capex appreciation is going as another major booster shot for the kind of reindustrialization of the United States, which is a necessary backbone for every economy. I worry about Germany, Europe in general, by allowing China to come in and dump cars. You need a diverse source of jobs because we have a diverse labor force.
Nancy Lazarre back in July with one of the great moments of the year for US where she just flat outsaid the issue is job formation in America. Nancy Lazar far more optimistic now here at the end of the year, as she was in July and in this summer. Sometimes can be an impact as unmeasurable. Michael Green is a Simplify asset management hugely popular on Bloomberg Surveillance. He wrote a substack essay about the poverty line in a mayor. It truly went viral within the zeitgeist, to the point
it made the front page of the Washington Post. Michael Green on the poverty line.
First, there are multiple poverty lines right across the country. If you live in a high cost region, you're going to have a very different experience than if you live
in a low cost region. But the overall point was when you start thinking about what we define as the poverty line currently at about thirty one two hundred dollars for a family of four, two earners, two children, that doesn't come anywhere close to meeting the needs of a family that is living in a place like Caldwell, New Jersey, where the calculation works out to about one hundred and thirty six thousand, five hundred dollars and needs to be
made before you can even start saving a dime. Wow, that's an extraordinary feeling of Percarty when we talk about the dynamic that most American households can't afford something to break, can't afford an emergency expense, et cetera.
That's why Michael Green of Simplify off of his substack can't say enough about subscribing to many of our guests at their substack size. Michael Green, Mohammad al Arian, and Paul Krugman out there, Adam Too's professor. Too's writing on a very often basis as well. We're on podcasts on Apple, on Spotify, on YouTube podcasts.
