Episode 110 - Forklift-Related Basedness

<p>Jesse put a lot of work and time into this episode, while Scott slept through the recording, so please, make sure you listen to the latest Epoch. We discuss the grime reality of the latest Climate Report, and the rise of extreme weather events, hedge funds coming to buy all the water in the world, Biden giving the okay for drilling in The Gulf of Mexico, the mass exodus of nurses in Massachusetts leaving the profession, a little bit on the turmoil in both France and Israel, and finally Starbucks shareholders want an independent investigation into the company&#39;s labor practices. As promised, Joe gives his reasoning against Sport Betting while Scott tries to see it the same way. Lastly, Jesse gives us a brand new Theory Primer, this time on Bureaucratic capitalism.
