The Bitchuation Room Sad Modelo with Rafael Shimunov & Maggie Maye (Ep 172)
Why do we hand everything over to Big Pharma and the Amazon Corporation when they continually f*ck us over? Comedian Maggie Maye and activist Rafael Shimunov join the pod to talk about why Amazon's construction of HQ2 in Virginia has stalled, what the corporate Cthulhu wants next and how grassroots pressure is the only thing that has worked. Then, pharmaceutical company Eli Lilly voluntarily lowers the price of insulin to $35 a vial? What's the catch? And then, will Chicago choose a former teacher and leftist union member or a former public school CEO and 'tough on crime' moderate to be its next mayor? We'll discuss. Finally, a THANK YOU! moment from Jon Stewart as he takes a Republican legislator to task on the hypocrisy of banning drag while allowing firearms.
