Description

Gig workers get a little dignity. Bill Gates is a weird pervert, allegedly. China is doing exciting research into new energy sources. The parliamentarian wields more "power" over the entire legislative and executive branches. Haitian refugees welcomed by Mexico as the US chases them with horses and illegally sends them back into immense danger. Congress absurdly and unanimously passes a bill to compensate "victims" of the extremely real and totally not fake "Havana syndrome." Defense budget predictably balloons for another fiscal year. We answer a listener's inquiries about Squid Games and Korean cultural and historical forces connected to anti-capitalist media.
