There’s no question that we live in a dysfunctional society, but the majority of the people in our ruling class will never admit that the root of those dysfunctions is our economic system. Lee Camp opens the show with a dive into how racism, consumerism, environmental destruction, and misogyny are built on the foundations of our capitalist system. But how can we do things better? To answer this, he looks to social critic Peter Joseph. Camp also covers how the corporate media twists reporting to make enemies of the US the bad guy, and scientists recreating extinct species. Natalie McGill reports on a downside of Girl Scout Cookies and other products made with palm oil. Anders Lee finishes off the episode on the coup in Myanmar and the response of workers, Joe Biden’s tepid statement on unions without mentioning Amazon or Alabama, and the PRO Act which could reverse Right to Work laws.
