We'll be short of prisons so how about putting the enablers on a good 'ole fashioned chain gang and having them build the maximum security prisons?

And what about the billionaires? They're just as complicit with their silence.

Recession? How about another Depression. Sounds more likely to me.

Guys I’m sorry for the goofy comment about illiterate prosecution etc WTH. I didn’t write it. Weird. It’s under my name. I’ve been hacked? I’ll keep an eye out for other such crap.

I really did want to hear how Trump cooked the books but after 10 minutes of mostly f words, I gave up.

Too many f words in your podcast. You think that’s going to help? Think about it. Those are all words which could be replaced with more useful ones. I use it occasionally myself, but very occasionally because it’s distracting from whatever your message is. You’re a grown man, not a teenager. When times are bad like this, you need a powerful meaningful vocabulary.

Hi there! I'm a grown adult, and I will use whatever language I see fit. You are presumably also a grown adult, and if you can't handle coarse language, I suggest you work on developing a thicker skin. Fascism does not give a fuck about your delicate sensibilities. :)

The problem is not my delicate sensibilities. I used those words myself far too much. The problem is that we’re living in devastatingly perilous times, and cursing only detracts from the seriousness we need to address the issue. No one in power, on either side, uses coarse language. It belittles you, the people you’re addressing and anyone else you speak of while making curses be every other word of your language. It gets us absolutely nowhere to curse. People who are all really scared right now are looking for people who can speak calmly and thoughtfully about the issues, not just duck finding real solutions by cursing for an hour straight.
