112 | Rapture in September, Christmas in October, Idiocracy Year-Round
Update: 2025-09-30
Description
On this week's Economy of Nothing, we ask the big questions:
👉 Did the rapture already happen and we just didn't make the cut?
👉 Why does America feel more Idiocracy every year?
👉 And why is 28 Years Later suddenly #1 again, even though it's trash?
We spiral from fake rapture infomercials to Andrew Jackson's bare-knuckle White House parties, UFC politics on the front lawn, Snowpiercer, nepotism in Hollywood, Netflix bumps, and how every scam becomes real once the media reports on it.
Also: the upcoming EoN Christmas special, nepo babies, and the void that is the modern algorithm.
