Omnibus (10-24-26).
Shownotes
Max and 99 are back for another round of Omnibus. They hit headlines on the French banlieues erupting and what the protests reveal about the global assault on social spending, and Elon Musk promising every American kid a SpaceX share while barely denting his holdings. Then they tackle listener emails on how lifelong Democratic voters find their footing in a movement that’s outpaced the party, Trump’s “we’re all going to die anyway” worldview, and whether the only options are capitalism or the DSA. Enjoy!
