865K women exiting the workforce in one month is perhaps the long term-impactful economic story of the year, period. Why are only podcasts/outlets aimed at women/moms inviting me to talk about it?

I'm a long-time believer of market-based approaches, AND I know the limitations of collective action when there isn't political will. We urgently need political leadership now.
