If there is one thing that there is no shortage of in 'murika! it's empty houses.
Now sure, the folks that 'own' those houses want to rent them out, but the rent levels are such that nobody can afford to rent them.
So, homeless people live in the streets due to greed.
All hail, greed!
Why we agree to play by that rule is beyond me.
2 trillion dollars can 'get lost' out of the pentagon, but we can't get folks into houses.
Uh-huh. Sure.
Well, keep playing by these rules, dear reader, we know how much you love your slavery.
Welcome, to This Is America, December 31st, 2019.
In this episode, first we talk to one of the Tucson 12 about their case and the role that a far-Right conspiracy theory played in the police charging the group with felonies.
They are still fundraising to cover legal costs, so please support them here.
We then speak to someone involved in organizing an upcoming conference on Jewish anarchism.
We discuss the rise in anti-Semitism in the US, antifascism post-Charlottesville, the #NeverAgain movement, Trump’s push against BDS, and what the Jewish anarchist tradition brings to the wider movement.
We then switch to our discussion where we cover a pastor being associated with “ANTIFA” by the security State, a look at the recent budget passed by Democrats and Republicans which features slashes to health care and more money for war, a discussion on NAFTA 2.0 and 5G, and a look at the ongoing impeachment crisis.
All this and more, but first, let’s get to the news!
