011 - Blood Red Skies & Broken Promises

Our mid week early morning episode centers around two of the latest articles from Luke Savage (@LukewSavage) in the ideologically-aligned warm embrace of Jacobin. The first regarding the absolute imperative need for a Green New Deal to even possibly combat the effects of climate change. The second deals with the perpetual disappointment of the Biden campaign, which not only will never be pushed leftward, but won't even deliver on its own lukewarm platform and promises.
