Episode 21: Post-Infrastructuralism, the Flight-Fight Response, and Karen vs. Karen: the McKarening

Today, we tackle what Congress won’t: the debt ceiling! We also break down what Congress won’t: the incredible expanding spending bill that Pays For Itself(™) by tracking Venmo accounts of service workers, taxing you to help pay for better tax enforcement, and conducting studies about what else we could tax in the future (like driving!). Then we talk about a wave of workplace walk-offs grounding flights and depleting the service sector. We also analyze the racial scandal that wasn’t, in which a white woman allegedly told a black man to ‘stay in your hood’ during a fight—right after he’d mentioned he was from another area.
