After last week's chonky Epoch, we're back with a short boy. As always, we open with Joe and the news for the first half. We talk about Neera Tanden, the minimum wage, American "norms", how we saw the failure of the Biden administration coming, the political spectrum, Texas reopning, Andrew Cuomo, Charlie Baker, MSNBC, and the psychological effect of COVID on young people. In the second half, after Joe goes to sleep, LE talks about bears and outhouses. Finally, Comrade Karleen joins us to discuss the sexualization of women at a young age and how it relates to capitalism and patriarchy.
