Habeas Humor

HH56: We're Live, Bitches!


Listen Later

Welcome to the new format of the Habeas Humor Podcast, visual and live for patrons (everyone else can watch/listen the next day). To become a patron, go to patreon.com/habehumor.

This episode comes out on Juneteenth, so we gotta talk about that. It just became an official legal holiday in Pennsylvania, BTW. 

Slavery is gone, but good old shady American capitalist practices endure. The latest in predatory lending is Chase's new arbitration agreement for bank account and credit card customers. They want you to waive your right to bring a class action lawsuit, but you can opt out so do!!!
