Episode 36 - Don't Have Heroes

The wolf is on the prowl on this week's Epoch. And why not? The vaccine roll out sucks. The stimulus still sucks. The minimum wage sucks. The Super Bowl sucked. 5 to 9 sucks. Trump sucks. The Democrats trying to impeach Trump, again, suck. Neera Tanden sucks. Nazis suck. Having Heroes sucks. And finally, the existential dread of Climate Change sucks. But at least, despite all things, Vietnam is doing well right now. Also, coming soon to the Patreon; The Epoch's Movie Club.
