fireside chat with fidel and bae. Gaza & manufacturing famine, Professionalism & manufacturing behavior, primitive accumulation & manufacturing extraction, etc. etc.

The Grandeur of Yasser Arafat by Gilles Deleuze

outro music: mangetout by Wet Leg

of course we ‘had to do it to em.’ Bae & Fidel discuss how H.R.1, or the ‘one big beautiful bill act,’ has its fingerprints not only on healthcare concerns such as Medicaid, the ACA marketplace, and rural care, but also on immigration enforcement that will color the future of ICE raids, detention camps, and beyond. oh there’s also tax cuts for the rich (there’s always fuckn tax cuts for the rich). we also cover some good news, so stay tuned to the closing minutes of the program for a too-rare private equity L.

outro music: pyramid of health by Viagra Boys

Fidel and Bae have a fireside chat and read a few articles. names mentioned: John Conyers, Bernie Sanders, Debbie Dingell, RFK Jr., Dr. Oz, Casey Means, Luigi Mangione, Andrew Witty, Bryan Thompson.

Fidel, Bae, & Sigmund review the most recent 500 days of genocide in Gaza (~12:00), discuss the ceasefire agreement (~28:20), and then have a little more fun reflecting on Joe Biden’s overall disastrous tenure as the 46th president (~1:16:00).

outro music: three cheers for our side by Orange Juice

from old cronies to fresh parasocial bonds, our heroes navigate some of Trump’s baffling appointments to key healthcare positions in his upcoming 2nd administration.

outro: terra by geordie greep

a lot of talk of post-election blues, but not here folks; much to discuss & much to do as the gang returns to discuss Kamala Harris’s disastrous campaign for President and where we go from here.

correction (25:17) - meant to say ‘Communist Party’ rather than PFLP, which wasn’t founded until 1967.

outro: that’s my floor by Magdalena Bay

#PACKALERT #PACKNOTICE #PACKSIGNAL

the gang does the obligatory post-Trump-almost-assassination coverage. for all our enemies, remember that this is also a comedy podcast in addition to a political podcast so nothing we say counts and that’s on period

today Bae leads us as we get into the wellness industry in the context of Western/Zionist imperial dominance and how colonizer frameworks undergird seemingly unrelated facets of economics, culture, and technology. who is allowed to be well? should the ability to live a safe and meaningful life rely on trite notions of individual physical & psychological consciousness, or consumer choices on the market? if so, who has access to these markets? if not, shouldn’t our goal be to overcome the entire concept of wellness and reterritorialize it onto a more historical and social stratum?
