This week on the Epoch, we spend our post-4th of July episode highlighting the true story of the founding of this country coupled with the current and continuous crumbling of America in the present. From ocean fires to oil lobbyist, environmentalists being labelled terrorists, wealth built on exploitation and slavery, the looming crisis of student debt and the ending of federal unemployment benefits, the breakdown of supply chains, and, of course, the climate crisis. We then move into an examination of how WHO, COVAX, and the G7 have treated countries with socialized medicine (Cuba, Venezuela, etc.) since the beginning of the pandemic. (Hint: Not good.) To round things out, LE brings us a classic YCMTSU about birds, and we end things with a list of what best to feed ducks. Please enjoy, and share. Thank you.
