Recorded September 9, 2021. This is sort of the "9/11 episode." We recorded this 2 days before the 20th anniversary of 9/11. Adam and Peter talk about the recent anti-abortion law in Texas, the decline of U.S. imperial primacy, and the "Great Resignation" where millions of workers are quitting their jobs.
