maybe by chance, a president can do good things sometimes. sometimes you have to take what you can get. and they also criticized him plenty in this
Ollie could at least re-arrange the words, do they teach nothing in journalism school?

Ollie was fantastic!

I don't feel like "degrowth" is a very helpful term. We need to plan to use our resources to meet people's needs in a way that doesn't exceed the capacity of the planet. We need to grow some things and not grow others. Putting it in terms of overall net growth sends an unclear message.

the rest of the world still needs plumbing, internet, and access to medical care But yes, we do need begin massive degrowth in terms of no more designed obsolesence of cars, electronics, etc. Big switch to public transit for North America also important.

lol the idea that a journalist should be constrained or nonpartisan is liberal fantasy

I felt like I was listening to the Mexican president''s PR department. Maybe a journalist should dial it back. We get enough blowjobs by us media of who we like.

Latin America is on its way to create the Mondragon Accord while we’re a few years away from reading the entrails of a person sacrificed at a Cheesecake Factory to decide whether women should be allowed to read.

We do need to degrowth, especially the first world.

If a head of state isn't shot dead or resigns from office that week the patreon episodes should be free.

Great ep, boys! I learned a lot and actually felt excited for once, haha. I just hope all these movements can continue while dodging US interference. Praying none of them contract the deadly CIA cancer that went around the first time.
“Gofe Whitlam”? It’s pronounced “Goff”.

"the Michael gove of cats" okay unsubscribing now.

Boris lost two by elections, that was the reason they ditched him. As long as he was an election winner no one would care about pincher or any of the other scandals.
