What if I told you...that only rich people have the ability to affect public policy, and that America is NOT a democracy???? You'd probably laugh at me and say OK Boomer. We all know that already. You're right. But in 2014, two Princeton professors published a study that proved it with SCIENCE. Now you can roll it up and stick it in the eyes of condescending boomers who tell you that you need to vote so the orange man doesn't win. But we're not hopeless pessimists--we also discuss a few ways that you can actually make these old-timey oligarchs listen to us, the bewildered rabble, a.k.a. regular people.
We also spend time on some news, both domestic and foreign policy. Some real stories this week. Not just ones about how Donald Trump is still rich even though he's not.
Here's to taking the Red Pill,
