Joe is back for a bit of a more normal one this week. After a busy cold open we dive into the news and give updates on some important stories we missed, most importantly Maui and Hurricane Hilary. As always this launches us into another length discussion about climate, and the Government's response or lack thereof. In more positive news, we cover the ratification of the Teamster's contract after beating UPS, and the electoral victory of Bernardo Arévalo (and The Left) in Guatemala. To end the episode, Joe responds to our take about the failure of Socialism from our previous episode. Scott gets a little heated about it, but we all make up by the end.
