TEASER: 166 - Mutual aid in a heat wave (when you can't rely on your government) (7.9.2021)

[To listen to/view the full episode, become a patron today!]

The gang discusses our government bureaucracy's repeated failures in the face of rolling heat waves caused by climate change. Instead of focusing on humanitarian emergencies, officials like  Sacramento City Manager Howard Chan prefer to focus on the whims of downtown hotel managers.  

But there are a WHOLE lot of people in Sacramento ready to take care of one another in the form of mutual aid.  

We discuss the anarchist beginnings of the concept, and why its application today is a serious indictment of the liberal consensus in our government institutions.  

Oh, and we also make fun of city staffer texts from recent public record requests.  

Thanks for listening, defund the police and, as always:
