  • Not partisan!

    Any listener who complains that the show has a political bias needs to understand the objective facts of the harms of certain economic policies, regardless of the party implementing them. To cover up said facts, or to manufacture praise of said policies - THAT is called propaganda, and we are all lucky this podcast doesn’t engage in that. Kai et al., please keep up the great work of educating us all.
