News & Politics
Everyone's always asking about how the middle class is doing, but Andrew and Rob take the time to discuss what the role of the middle class is in a less capitalist society. Can the middle class lead to fascism? And if so, why do the nordic countries have such large middle classes but so much less fascism? (Main topic begins at 34:37 this week.) Politics Rewind features a drone attack on Nicolás Maduro, the current leader of Venezuela, a bit of talk about Climate Change, the White House taking over California's water management, U.S. Primaries, and... apparently the world decided that "cancel white people" jokes are mean for some reason now?
