157 - Do The Chinese Even Bury Their Dead?

Chuck Schumer's gang blows all of our minds (and our genitalia). Pizza, pizza. A North Carolina school district will install safes full of AR-15s to help the underfunded police. Malcolm Gladwell secures his position as an absolute piece of shit. Monetarily-mediated AI friendships are on the rise. Megan McArdle tries to cover her neocon core with philosopher name-dropping. Gig economy will destroy us all. Prisons manage to find more areas to profit from. Joe Rogan and some dipshit standup named Theo try to crack the case of 'China's Bad Becuz' only to reach the most hilarious of conclusions.
