This week on the Epoch we cover a smorgasbord of topics. We open with the Nabisco strike, continue our discussion on Afghanistan, unemployment insurance being turned off, infrastructure, Tesla's fake robot, the lie of meritocracy, the brief shared struggle under COVID until businesses decided the pandemic was over, Hasan Piker's new house, the highly sexual nature of crypto advertising, and the debacle at Current Affairs. We also give a shout out to Michelle Wu, and LE rounds the show out with a story of snakes and electric toothbrushes. Please enjoy and share. Thank you.

News heavy Epoch incoming. We start off with Comrade Joe as he covers Ohio's 11th congressional district special election -- which sadly, Nina Turner lost -- the Biden's administrations weak extension of the eviction moratorium, Charlie Barker's sour grapes, and calls for Andrew Cuomo's resignation. Jesse follows up with local news; mainly the recent green line collision. We also talk briefly about Michelle Wu, you should vote for her. LE brings us a story about the twitter rantings of freeze dried steak. Thank you for listening!

It's a Cuba heavy episode on the Epoch this week. We open with the news as always; the smog over Boston from Californian wild fires, tax corruption in the Vatican, the end of the eviction moratorium, Steven Crowder's health, and when MIT believes society will collapse. Jesse then leads us into a discussion covering the sanctions on Cuba, The Magnitsky Act, and after LE finally informs us they've been to the island, we move onto the currencies of Cuba and the islands tourism industry. As always please remember to enjoy and share! Thank you!
