As your hosts have been busy with socialist organizing and other activities, this week's Epoch is gonna be a minisode -- still forty-five minutes long, but hey, it's worth it. We open the episode with a long discussion of the disastrous state of the MBTA; a recurring theme on this show that is likely it rear its ugly, malfunctioning head again, perhaps very soon. After that we deliver some good news internationally and cover the recent French elections that brought many leftwing victories, and unseated Macron's majority. We take a humorous look at Andrew Yang's new attempt at forming a Forward Party. Finally, we get dark, as we examine child labor violations at Hyundai factories in Alabama, the Fed raising interest rates, the real cause of supply chain shortages, the evil big banks do, and the Metaverse. As always, thank you for listening and please share your Epoch.
