Tech Antitrust, The War On Algebra, The Right To Disconnect, & Squatter Revolution In The US

EPISODE #47: The Pirate Wires crew is here for your weekly podcast! This week, we kick things off with FTC Chair, Lina Khan, appearing on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. From the standing ovation, to the blatant speak of dismantling tech companies, we analyze exactly what she said. We then get into the "Right To Disconnect" bill introduced in California, that would effectively punish companies who message an employee after 5pm. Next up, the war on algebra continues! Last week, we discussed Jo Boaler in San Francisco. This week, we dive into the insane discourse around the Garry Tan funded company, Mentrava. Finally, squatters all around the nation, from NYC to San Francisco. River breaks down his piece on an organization in SF that's actively helping people to find places to squat. It's all crazy! We're here to help navigate it all. 

Featuring Mike Solana, Brandon Gorrell, River Page, Sanjana Friedman
