Howdy, folks, we have a rare special extra episode of the show this week. Why? Well, because I

actually bothered to read the entirety of Bernie Sanders' capitalist money grab. It's okay to be

angry about capitalism by Bernie Sanders. This is sponsored by ExpressVPN. So, this book, it's bad. It's a bad book. It's a bad book, not only because it's

quite boring, but also because it's filled with terrible ideas. And so today we're going to go

of services, which is mostly what Bernie has called for historically.

He also never wants you to think about the possible downsides of his preferred policies.

Instead, it's all about the possibilities.

We're going to go through a few themes here in his book.

The first and most prominent theme in his book is that things that are bad in life,
