Summary
TODAY: Aaron Thorpe of the Trillbillies joins us to talk sci-fi art, alleged acts of anti-Tesla terrorism, and Minion Death Cult being cancelled for liberalism (supporting unions)
We start off with a brief review of Mickey 17 and our mutual childhood love of art and how our nostalgia is Good vs the fascistic nostalgia going around right now
THEN: We explore the curious nature of a failing, overpriced car brand with thousands of unsold vehicles with manufacturing defects being suddenly "attacked" by anti-Elon protestors and whether anyone might stand to benefit from these liabilities being written-off as insurance claims.
FINALLY: We address the accusations of "liberal bullshit ideology" directed at us via an anti-capitalist facebook page after an old MDC post about organizing your workplace goes viral.
