News and chat about society, with a soundboard and propaganda mixed in. On this episode, I was joined by third-time guest, recruited from Twitter, Becca! (Not the other Becca, guest from last week's episode, also recruited from twitter). This is Season 5, at the show's brand new venue: the beautiful Lorena Bobbitt Theatre. It's the HD era! Some of the things covered include:
- Happy Vegetable Oil in Diesel Engine Day
- Vegetable oil is the only true renewable fuel for cars, and it was invented as a motor fuel in 1897!
- Rudolf Diesel, the inventor of diesel engines, and his cosmopolitan life
- Rudolf Diesel's mysterious death at sea
- A big fat naked Scottish man flashed Joe Biden's motorcade
- The tragic death of 8 people at the Astroworld concert in Houston
- What causes stampedes and how they could be prevented
- The FEC declared it legal for non-US citizens and foreign countries to financially support ballot measures
- Zillow buying up houses to flip, and it flops! They lay off 25% of their workforce and tried to unload the houses
- The logistics of government housing and how it could be expanded
- The Anglophone Crisis in Cameroon, the English-speaking separatist movement
- How English speaking Cameroonians are now allied with rebel factions in SE Nigeria
- What prevents rebel factions (like the Quebecois for example) from rebelling up here in the Northwest Hemisphere
All of that, and much much more, this is the Society Show!
