  • WM has enough money so give up

    This guy is exposed without Matt. Tankie. Why won’t Ukraine just give up? Why would you bother defending your home and family? The flip side of Thatcherism: there is no community, only Will Menickers self aggrandizement and portfolio management. Matt would be ashamed.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

1083 - Voteball Internacional feat. Ryan Grim (10/26/26)
Q: To what extent has the Iran war affected the midterm election and demoralized Trump's base?
Grim says the war violated promises against new wars and lower prices, driving up fuel costs and economic uncertainty. He argues that the consequences have alienated voters, including lower-propensity voters who are now turning out against Republicans.
1083 - Voteball Internacional feat. Ryan Grim (10/26/26)
Q: What can you tell us about Lula's campaign, and what made the difference between the first round and his fairly convincing win in the second?
Grim points to Meta's acknowledged throttling of Lula's campaign, voters returning for the runoff, some Bolsonaro supporters not voting, and debate exchanges that helped Lula connect with working-class voters.
BONUS: Who Moves America feat. Yael Bridge & Antonio Rosario
Q: How do you handle a loss, so to speak, and how do you, the one no one talks about, handle a win, keeping up the momentum, like making sure people keep moving after this?
Bridge describes the tension between raising expectations and the disappointment that can follow even a successful contract. Rosario says workers should keep pushing for improvements, vote on contracts, enforce the provisions they win, and begin planning for the next negotiations.
BONUS: Who Moves America feat. Yael Bridge & Antonio Rosario
Q: Tony, can you give us a little bit of background on that strike, how it went, what they were fighting for? And Yael, why did you decide to start with the 1997 strike?
Rosario explains that part-time UPS workers were fighting for higher wages and full-time jobs, including opportunities to combine warehouse and air-delivery shifts. Bridge says the strike provides historical context and illustrates how each generation must continue the organizing work of those before it.
1081 - Bucket Bunnies feat. Pendejo Time (10/20/26)
Q: What was interesting to me, it was the very specific thing about the line wife versus Bucket Bunny, like that conflict.
The speakers describe line wives as fiercely loyal partners who warn one another about bucket bunnies, women who pursue linemen while they are away for work.
