She'd start to rant about something topical, getting it completely wrong at which point Jane Curtin or Chevy Chase would explain it to her and she'd respond. [...]

Weekly Market Pulse: Who’s The Boss?
I told you last week that there were strange things going on in the labor market but I had no idea how much of an understatement that really was.
