You’re driving over the grapevine and into the nacreous environment that is the Central Valley, or the Central Void. Unbeknownst to you there are communities stranded off the side of this 99 Highway who drink poisoned water, who work innumerable hours at exploitive levels, who lack higher education and better paying jobs, all at the expense of exporting California’s agro economy. Third World Ballers are back for episode 5, and were digging into the muck that is the Central Void. We also shout out our Bronx queen, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, The Democratic Socialists, and talk ICE out of LA, centrist ghouls, leftist publications, and much more. Join us as we ride through the dairies, the fields, the lonely serene roads of Visalia. (The comedian mentioned, Jake Flores, was making a joke in reference to Cinco de Mayo not Mardi Gras, apologies.)
