After a bit of an extended hiatus, The Epoch of Incredulity has returned for the first episode of 2023! We tackle a wide range of topics; Private prisons, the disappointing Omnibus bill, Zelenskyy's increasing fascist tendencies, Video Game Unions, and Tesla's dire financials. In the second half, we move our focus internationally and discuss Indonesia's new criminal code, the success of the Yuan-Ruble, BRICS, the ousting of Peruvian president Pedro Castillo, and we end things with sorry state of Jair Bolsonaro, sleeping in a Minions bed, in Orlando. Thank you for listening, please share, and visit our Patreon, patreon.com/epicincredulity/
