This week things tame down ever so slightly with a complete lack of magic, but a return to focusing on big pharma and drug prices in the US.  Theres been a bit of a foldable phone explosion, so let's take a moment to laugh about that, and close up shop looking at how corporate companies utilize debt to really ruin their business!

Minishred walks you through a Patreon (thanks Adam Brown) chosen first adventure through the mind of Doctor Greg Graffin of Bad Religion, continues down the Yellow Brick Road of eventual 5G, and concludes with a polar vortex of climate changing thought!

Thanks to the following articles for providing intellectual insight!

Get to know your host, Eric Minishred for a candid chat about why he's decided to do a podcast before delving in to our topics of the week!  
First, the origin of the Holiday Season and consumerism.
Second, the martyrdom of technology and ignorance towards technological development.
