Roughcut Media Network exists to make the economy make sense to the people who actually live in it. We break down policy, power, and money the way it’s felt on the shop floor, at the kitchen table, and in towns that never make it into glossy think-tank reports. Our work cuts through corporate spin, partisan theater, and academic jargon to show how decisions made far from working people shape wages, rent, debt, healthcare, and everyday survival. We believe economics isn’t abstract—it’s personal—and understanding it is a form of self-defense.

Our mission is to educate, challenge, and mobilize the working class through honest storytelling, hard data, and unapologetic perspective. We don’t answer to lobbyists, donors, or political parties—we answer to reality. Roughcut is built for people who know the system feels rigged and want the tools to prove it, explain it, and change it. More boots. Less suits.
