Heat Death of the Universe
168 - Make Neoliberalism Based Again? feat. Timothy Robert Buechner
Timothy Robert Buechner returns as dual guest & substitute cohost for Jason. We talk about the fledging effort to make neoliberalism cool (again?); the nature of all 'centrisms'; Volcels are Basically Cows; how the most labor friendly president in US history has recently shown his friendliness to railway union members; how the NYTimes has suddenly, cynically, meaninglessly, developed an interest in human rights vis-à-vis Julian Assange; and finally, where are the best places to survive nuclear war in the US? Crack open a recent Newsweek to find out!
