Eric, this episode is just going to put our reputation in the shitter, to be honest.

I think I know why you think that, but why don't you tell me why you think that?

Absolutely, because we're always in Sympatco.

And that is, there have been people, and sure, we may have hinted that previously this podcast,

we're touring with the idea of calling it critiques of capitalism.

Okay.

It seems like we're swinging the other way because on this episode we have three interns or three

former, sorry, I need to clarify, former interns.

And we found out only one of them was a paid position.

So the other two were not paid, basically free labor, that they were used by their

corporate conglomerate overlords in order to basically take advantage of their youth and

their enthusiasm and not compensate them for their time.

And so now we're getting accusations from other people that we've basically sold out, Eric.

And I kind of knew this was coming because we did joke about we had James Krieger on

where he said that obesity is potentially a consequence of capitalism.

We've joked about other things in the past.

I don't know how we're going to get ahead of this one.

You know, I don't think we need to because the truth is,

is that you and I have been hardcore free market capitalist anarchists from the start.

The reason of why we promoted an anti-capitalist message is because the free market actually and ironically demanded it of us.

As you've seen in the lamestream media, the most popular thing these days and what sells is a hardcore leftist stance on the economy.

It's just the way it is.
