Brilliant analysis of major global trends and popular issues. Well worth the wait for episodes.
When was the last time either of these two bought eggs? I bought nice brown cage free eggs with a hard shell yesterday at a Midwest Aldi for less than $3/dozen. Mark and Carrie are just spitballers.
Can’t believe these two have fallen off the insurrectionist propaganda about Trump. I thought Mark was smarter than that. There’s much a don’t agree with yet still continued to listen. If he can’t this this is a political witch hunt. He’s not a intelligent as I thought. Talk about a fall from grace. I can’t stand Trump. I can’t stand hypocrisy more though. The US is a failed experiment and now so is this podcast. Such a shame.
Great Pod!!
Hello Carrie, Mark,
Truly value your show. Grateful for your analyses/insights and recommendations. The segment on the COP and World Cup was particularly important in my opinion. Oil barons/cartels run/rule our world. However, watching this play out in real time is more tragedy than theater of the absurd for me. Wondering if either of you have read Kim Stanley Robinson’s novel “The Ministry of the Future “? Looking forward to your take on the midterms. Happy Thanksgiving!
