This week brings a very broad Epoch.
First, we cover the early failures and successes of the Biden administration, the ever shifting map of global politics, the surmounting economic power of China, the fight for Amazon to finally have its own union, and the emergence of AI weaponry. Jesse discusses the tendency to take personality over politics. LE brings us another classic YCMTSU, this time from Gwyneth Paltrow and a special candle. Even though Trump is gone, and we've had brunch everyday since, we still don't feel any better.
