[@civicspectator2573]

Oh wow; I thought the podcast had ended

[@hughcards]

Summer vacation.

That was the best explanation regarding the state of economics in the US and monopolies.

Always great to listen to people that cut right through the usually BS. The motto/mantra of mankind now is "Down the primrose path we go. Straight to hell's grotto."

[@funpolice4416]

Welcome back! Yes, it was hot. I was working outside here in Texas the entire time.

[@franksampsell3538]

welcome back! missed this all summer

[@evanmcarthur478]

I love how they check there predictions and comments so professional！

[@stuckp1stuckp122]

Good to see you back!

[@arnowillekes7979]

Well done guys!

[@Reid52]

Glad to have you back

[@joaonunomarques213]

This was one great episode! I loved hearing you: greetings from Portugal.

[@kornaktanker7633]

good as always

[@breft3416]

Glad you're back and great stuff! But, gas is $5+/gal, a head of romaine lettuce $3.29 and I think wage inflation has yet to hit here in SoCal.

[@thyalchemist]

Makes me wonder at what price point does theft become morally defensible?

[@shawnjavery]

​@@thyalchemisthonestly just move to a place that's not as shitty as California. I've heard nothing but bad things about that state.

[@buzoff4642]

@@shawnjavery "... California." People tend to be blind, to what they've been raised within, as normal, we don't actually have an economically healthy (for household finances) state. "... not as ..." Such a low bar, from decades of "lesser of two evils" voting.

[@subcitizen2012]

It's pretty wild, connect all the dots on this: foreign oil and monopolies, production cuts a d record profits, climate change, food supply disruptions. They sold the world. Which, for them - and for us - means $$$

[@BigHenFor]

I don't know what happened but the comments are switched off on the next edition of this podcast published 18th November 2023. I'm Sad if that's because of any issues with your audience. I've always found your commenters to be grounded and not filled with bots. Keep up the good work.

[@meegz149]

Loved this episode. Extra cynical!🎉

[@T.H.W.O.T.H]

Trump: "If you indict me now I will become more powerful than you can possibly imagine."

[@Bullypulpit]

The ear worm still gives me nightmares too, Carrie.

[@stephenphillips6245]

Monopolistic behaving corporations are said to have a deep moat and investors, Like Buffet, buy them, but how does this model support economic growth for the Populus? What does that mean for innovation? And corporate type diversity?

[@BigHenFor]

Financialisation is the Death Watch Beetle of the productive economy.

A nice bottle of Pinot Fjord from Sweden......

[@shaz7132]

I'm in an ordinary low paid job,it is not worth knitting into my self concept as it has little to zero status.... I've just got my pension and I'm not retiring, I'm staying in the working community as long as I can....However, I do get a lot of ageism about staying though. It's awful sometimes, and there is nothing wrong with my ability to do my job at all, but the ageist comments keep coming. If older Politicians get voted in, be gracious and except it.

[@shaunmcisaac782]

45C is fine. Just, you know, in doses less than an hour due to the heat stroke.

[@treyquattro]

45C is fine if you have a stillsuit

[@MarkGast]

Great episode, allegedly.

0:06 a bong hit? ??💨 💨 💨

Maybe people will tour Southern Europe….in winter!

[@kangaroo1888]

👍 as usual

[@Trials_By_Errors]

If Wages do not increase we are going to see distruction of Purchasing power. Which can lead to Stagflation.

[@shawnjavery]

Honestly that just seems like a collapse of real wages. Which has kinda been happening for a while now anyways. Lets see where this ends up.

[@philledwith8307]

I'm late to this, but @20:38 "...at least he [Trump] can put a sentence together..." One word: Covfefe.

[@cev12]

But so many topics were missed: Cornel West running 3rd party, the Democratic primary refusing to hold debates and ignoring Marianne Williamson, the UAW strike... Instead, like the mainstream media you criticize, you focused on trump and Republicans instead. Disappointed :(

[@hmbdata]

Hard to avoid the impression that these guys get their "news" from MSNBC.

[@macgonzo]

Where do you get yours from?

[@treyquattro]

so you think Mark could have saved a ton of money by not going to Europe to find out what's going on and instead watch TV? Hard to avoid the impression that's what you do.

[@hmbdata]

Keep wearing your mask!@@treyquattro

[@treyquattro]

@@hmbdata oh right, it's an out-of-date COVID reference, just in time for a new strain. Keep avoiding the vaccines. Sooner or later the pandemic's gonna get ya

@@treyquattro We have a major climate crisis, people should quit being yuppies and taking flights willy nilly.

[@Tectenitarius]

Why does Mark never mention the coal power plants being built by China each year? 🤔

[@mcihs2]

Green “technology” is just another “MacGuffin”……most people are not only innumerate, and illiterate, but are simple minded and superstitious too, especially those that are higher up the social hierarchy…
