Some people now claim he's lying.not sure if true though
As an illustrator, this episode is saddening. I can't imagine a great artist make an amazing artwork to just end up like that. So heartbreaking.
Hmmm, this sounds like a scam. Planet Money: "Four out of five programs proposed scored one check mark out of five." Yup, it's a scam.
An extraordinary episode.
That is crazy lol. That is also MAJOR DICK MOVE, with not giving any credit. There were more than enough people that could have collaborate the history.
Finally I got to listen to this! I love Manoush.
this explains Spotify's shitty radio
love government cheese! Rich flavor and melted beautifully. Last week when I went to commodities I was given several bags of cooked Italian sausage was supper stoked. Brought it home filled my freezer so happy that I had a freezer with enough meat for at least two months. Now I can eat most anything from the food banks. This stuff was inedible! More sour then biting into a fresh lemon. I boiled, & fried put lists of seasonings nothing worked. I tried several bags just in case. Nope they were all the same. It was very hard to throw it all away. I felt I should have tried harder to make it work. I felt; defeated, hurt and the fool. Because someone somewhere must have tasted this product and said "Yes this is fine for those people to eat" Could you do a follow-up on what is currently being give out at the USDA Commodities distribution. I would like you to taste the food. Also, who and how producers are chosen. There's lots of us eating this food. it's always on the news but I have yet to see someone anyone look at the nutritional value (sodium levels) and palatability of the government produced food. Thank you for your time Maggie 🦋☮️♥️
I like this podcast but in this case the authors should have consulted the shock doctrine by naomi klein.
Couldn't download and/or listen this episode on this platform.
Socialism is rebranded communism. Meant to enslave the people and keep a few government officials in charge. It will lead to an authoritarian government. What they are selling here is a utopian pipe dream.
When the pro-fascist, pro-oligarchy, pro-theocracy, pro-anarchy episodes coming? But for real, Socialism needs to die, not capitalism. This is just left wing propaganda.
My favorite episode so far.
The most confrontational Planet Money episode ever?
.sounds.s.p
Grotesque episode. The reason why there are few socialist economists is actually because there are not that many people who do not understand the discipline they study and are still hung up on 19th century "science" and ideology. The fact that you tolerate such low resolution thinking in this episode can justify by itself you handing back your Economics degrees. If you keep it up with this garbage, your content will not even qualify for econ topics and I will have to leave you tend to this historical fanclub of yours.
this is so sickening
The Equal Pay Act of 1963 is a United States labor law amending the Fair Labor Standards Act, aimed at abolishing wage disparity based on sex. It was signed into law on June 10, 1963, by John F. Kennedy as part of his New Frontier Program. it is ILLEGAL and according to the data virtually NEVER happens
