Great show until 99 pipes up. I’m a veteran and despise trump and the GOP. But. Good God 99, nothing has me fast forwarding more than her. Her “I don’t care about the US” during the Olympics was—not gonna lie—almost MAGA level vile.
I'm always impressed by the comprehensive knowledge presented in these podcast episodes. I very much appreciate the background work to bring us these succinct presentations. Thank you.
But I didn’t realize that 99 was 11 years old.
Max, I would like to recommend you and the unfockers in general, an excellent book recently published by the economist Ann Pettifor. The title is “ THE GLOBAL CASINO “.
I am not getting tired of recommending you program whenever possible. Have a good reed, and thank you.
