Dismantling the Oligarchy: The Political Class is Intellectually Bankrupt.

This episode explores both the majesty of our democracy and its failures. No matter the issue that motivates you as a voter and citizen, there is an artificial barrier that exists between our desire for change and ability to manifest it. The whims of an increasingly wealthy donor class ensures that each of the major parties play their respective roles in maintaining the status quo. Well intentioned political figures inevitably cave to the pressures of the donor class and unrelenting requirements of campaign funding. The founders of the nation crushed monarchical tyranny with the innovation of temporary rule. Modern oligarchs have found a way to negate this innovation and install a permanent ruling class of elites. Visit the episode's accompanying site page.

Updated Tax Evasion Figures: Lifestyles of the Rich and Fraudulent.

An explosive new report from the Bureau of Economic Research just landed, and it seems that no one in the media or political class cares. The report pulls together findings from new domestic regulations related to offshore banking and revelations from a treasure trove of documents leaked in the Pandora Papers. The Bureau estimates that billionaires are now holding nearly $4 trillion in assets in offshore accounts, an increase of nearly $1 trillion since the last estimate was published. And it’s likely a good deal more than this. Chapters Intro: 00:00:44 Chapter One: The Magnitude of the Problem. 00:02:52 Chapter Two: Leak. Uncover. Match.

The End of Affirmative Action: Civil rights advocates brace for the worst.

Affirmative action has a long history in the United States, beginning with the labor movement in the 1930s. But over time, the country and the courts developed a far more narrow definition with respect to the college and university admissions process. Today, the vestiges of affirmative action are once again under attack and likely to fall apart completely under the conservative Trump court. In this episode, we review the history of affirmative action, how it came to be settled law and why it’s likely to be stripped away.  Chapters Intro: 00:01:15 Chapter One: Affirmative action has always been hanging by a thread. 00:03:04 Chapter Two: Everyone’s a winner, everyone’s a loser. 00:09:05 Chapter Three: As usual, there’s a villain behind all this. 00:17:16 Chapter Four: The unlevel playing field. 00:23:41 Chapter Five: Bring it home, Max. 00:29:12 Post Show Musings: 00:47:13 Outro: 00:49:10 Resources Smithsonian Magazine: The Origins of the Term ‘Affirmative Action’ National Archives: Executive Order 11478 - Equal employment opportunity in the Federal Government National Archives: Executive Order 8802 - Prohibition of Discrimination in the Defense Industry (1941) The New York Times Magazine: Why Is Affirmative Action in Peril?

Hochul’s “Gift.” NY Governor Does it Again.

NYS Governor Kathy Hochul is once again under scrutiny for vetoing a bill that would have protected unmarked graves of Native People. It’s another in a litany of demonic insults to Native tribes in New York. But this one comes with a kicker. In defending her administration’s policies toward Native territories in NY, she mentions the return of 1,000 acres to the Onondaga Nation. But there’s a whole lot more to that story.
