Welcome back to the technical difficulty hour, or as we call it, The Epoch of Incredulity. As Scott struggles to get the soundboard - and his computer - working, we deliver a news heavy episode. There's a new COVID variant in Vietnam, Biden's proposed budget is still woefully inadequate with no forgiveness for Student Loans or anything else, and Mayor Pete has some empty words on infrastructure. We move into a discussion of the Stock Market and big oil, from a Marxist perspective, which leads to a debate over what climate change holds for the future. LE brings us another slightly genitalia related segment of things we can't make up. Lotta weird energy in this one. Please enjoy.
