92 - A Tale of Two Unions

While you may be sad over the news that the Bessemer, Alabama Amazon union failed, you probably haven’t thought about the true beneficiaries of union busting: women! That’s right, unions oppress women. In darker news, a former Boston police union president has been charged with over 30 counts of child molestation. He was first accused in 1995, and now 25 years later he’s finally been arrested after several other accusations have been made. On the brighter side, we’re growing meat in a lab and it’s very cool and a little gross. Mostly cool.
