very interesting
The Elon Musk episode in particular was utterly brilliant. Well done all involved.
I am addicted to it love it so much. I usually listen to it for two hours a day. The hosts are great and really break down what happens - also I I’ve learned a lot about IPOs and share holders 😉. Being 11 and going to school I often listen while doing my assignments. I love it so much it really helped me when I moved from the UK to Spain, so thanks 🥹😁!
Every billionaire represents the disenfranchisement of all working people. No matter how much they make a performance of altruism, they are still the symbol of the suffering of millions. Philanthropy is just an illusion meant to distract. And, yes, this includes the beloved Taylor Swift.
So good!!!!!!
