Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

In the first half of the podcast Eli Yudin nails the problem that not only affects comedy and performance, but all trades at the moment: no time or resources to teach the next generation. Insightful and funny.

Maxing Out The Candle Budget, With Eli Yudin | Defector

Justice Barrett’s Tone-Deaf Defense Of The Shadow Docket Comes As Federal Judges Revolt Against Supreme Court’s “Mystical” Orders
When 47 out of 65 federal judges tell The New York Times that the Supreme Court is mishandling its emergency docket and creating a "judicial crisis," you might think a Supreme Court Justice would show some humility about the criticism. Instead, Justice Amy Coney Barrett decided to go on Fox News Sunday to dismiss the concerns entirely, arguing that the Court's stream of unexplained emergency orders is no big deal because they're just "preliminary" decisions.

We never learn, do we? They're wrecking educational institutions to put your kids and grandkids to work in the fields and factories. Maybe we know a group of people who can inform us as to how bad that system is? It's up to you to seek the truth. To know your history.
