Over last weekend Southwest  has cancelled over 3,000 domestic flights.  While many news outlets speculate that this is over their recent vaccine mandate, the airline maintains that these are weather related cancellations (though other carriers seem unaffected).  Does Southwest only fly paper planes that cannot fly when wet?  Why do Southwest and many news agencies seem reticent to point out the relationship between this event and the new mandates?  Can I still do an hour-long solo-episode, did I lose my mojo, or did I ever really have it to begin with?  All this and more on Common Criminal Episode 88:  Southwest Airlines and American Currency

Pictures of unfinished F-150s have gone viral on social media, and memesters say a chip-shortage is to blame.  Ford has corroborated these claims, stating that sales are down and production is halted.  So we must ask:  Why are stock prices in Ford MotorCo remaining resilient?  Who benefits from the forces crippling the American car industry as a whole?  Let's talk about the future of the auto-industry on Common Criminal Podcast Episode 87:  Built Fraud Tough  Also available on Facebook and Spotify (if you prefer on-the-go listening).  Just search Common Criminal.  Thanks for Listening   -V.P.

After a long hiatus Common Criminal returns to tell the story of criminal-at-large, escape artist, former CEO of Nissan Motors Carlos Ghosn.  Was this business mogul truly just a conman?  Did his corruption extend to his other executive positions at Renault Motors and Mitsubishi?  And the biggest question:  How did this man manage to escape justice after embezzling over $50 million?  All that and more on Common Criminal Podcast Episode 86:  The Great Escape of Carlos Ghosn.    Thank you so much to those who came back for our return episode.  More episodes will be coming soon as the show goes back into production!  I look forward to having guests on the show again soon, so stay on the lookout for more episodes by subscribing and hitting the notification bell.  And as always, thanks for listening  -V.P.

Progressives and Black Lives Matter activists gather in Richmond daily to continue protesting.  Republicans and Conservatives push back by continuing to grumble from the comfort and security of their living rooms.  Was The Great Experiment of American democracy always destined to end this way?  What could we have done differently?  Find out on Common Criminal Episode 084: First Thing's First
