Where to even begin with this one. On this week's Epoch, Jesse, LE, and Scott are flying Joe-less. We open with Mayor Pete's newly appointed role as transportation secretary, Scott unloads on the so-called "Jimmy Dore Plan," and the liberal tendency to seek retribution in the place of justice. Jesse examines conspiracy theories throughout the political spectrum, and later, the fracturing of the left by the internet. LE ponders the mysterious monoliths and other erections of unknown origin. We briefly weigh the differences between Social Democracy and Communism, and we end things with some highlights from NextDoor. There is a lot of movie discussion throughout the episode, it's sorta the glue. Please, enjoy!
