curious to see what duncan does after this is over, as he’s said it’s his last one (would have liked a china or cuba series but oh well)

very unfortunate that he set a deadline of ending the thing before his new book comes out because china absolutely should have been included but there's just no way he could have covered it in under a year

ballin out super unlocked their NPR parody Zerial and I couldn't have been more impressed. It's good

new ALAB on all the times the Deutche Bank legal team wrote "uhhh maybe we shouldn't do business for Jeffrey Epstein..." only to have their sales team do it anyway


at one point, Epstein's lawyer goes into an actual bank chain and asks the teller "how much can i withdraw without you having to report this to the feds?"

As Mark and Yasha wrote up years ago, Planet Money was underwritten by a single bank and the host also received speaking fees for this bank's events, none of which was disclosed to listeners of the show.

Been a semi-daily listener to MR for a couple years now, it's a great commie Limbaugh equivalent even if Sam isn't exactly a radical, lots of content.

I think the reason the show work(s/ed) is that Sam is a pretty good interviewer but also hires people who are more radical them him and is able to have healthy debates with them on stuff (most of the time). Makes for a more interesting show than those where they just invite on an activist and let them talk without a break for fifteen minutes (Democracy Now, The Dig) and those where its just the host with quirky ideas and a crew of sycophants (Dore, etc.).

does modern monetary theory even work if a country isn't in control of the world reserve currency

the deficit financing part works fine as long as you can find someone to buy the bonds. i'm sure the ECB would be able to do this if germany weren't terrified of deficits for reasons that make no sense.

the bigger issue is that it's proponents only talk about how it allows you to eschew financing politics by just running huge deficits. that's great as long as there's no inflation. but what if there is? well, should that happen they say all you need to do if take some of the money out of the supply. how do you do this? easy! just raise taxes. shouldn't be a problem, right?

the version of the 1619 project that's in the proposed school curriculum is a heavily excerpted version of her essay with none of the controversial (for anyone to the left of nathan bedford forrest) stuff left in it that boils down to "here's why black people are skeptical of the founders" but she's super annoying and i wish someone else had been picked to write that instead

saruman and sauron are completely different characters you imbeciles you absolute morons

CHOMSKY: And here comes Bilbo Baggins. Now, this is, to my mind, where the story begins to reveal its deeper truths. In the books we learn that Saruman was spying on Gandalf for years. And he wondered why Gandalf was traveling so incessantly to the Shire. As Tolkien later establishes, the Shire’s surfeit of pipe-weed is one of the major reasons for Gandalf’s continued visits.

ZINN: You view the conflict as being primarily about pipe-weed, do you not?

CHOMSKY: Well, what we see here, in Hobbiton, farmers tilling crops. The thing to remember is that the crop they are tilling is, in fact, pipe-weed, an addictive drug transported and sold throughout Middle Earth for great profit.

ZINN: This is absolutely established in the books. Pipe-weed is something all the Hobbits abuse. Gandalf is smoking it constantly. You are correct when you point out that Middle Earth depends on pipe-weed in some crucial sense, but I think you may be overstating its importance. Clearly the war is not based only on the Shire’s pipe-weed. Rohan and Gondor’s unceasing hunger for war is a larger culprit, I would say.

CHOMSKY: But without the pipe-weed, Middle Earth would fall apart. Saruman is trying to break up Gandalf’s pipe-weed ring. He’s trying to divert it.

ZINN: Well, you know, it would be manifestly difficult to believe in magic rings unless everyone was high on pipe-weed. So it is in Gandalf’s interest to keep Middle Earth hooked.

CHOMSKY: How do you think these wizards build gigantic towers and mighty fortresses? Where do they get the money? Keep in mind that I do not especially regard anyone, Saruman included, as an agent for progressivism. But obviously the pipe-weed operation that exists is the dominant influence in Middle Earth. It’s not some ludicrous magical ring.
