Episode 98 - Mao did nothing wrong (he should have done more of it)

<p>This week on the Epoch we open with the death of Queen Elizabeth II, Joe mostly celebrates. After that, we talk the rail strike and its potential effects on the economy, John Kerry's remarks on Climate Change, Lindsey Graham's National abortion ban bill, Joe Biden's disastrous appearance on 60 Minutes, the continuing Armenia–Azerbaijan conflict and the clusterfuck of proxies, Ron DeSantis' Martha's Vineyard stunt, the continued abysmal state of the MBTA, and we round things out with a short discussion on the bullshit that is "MAGA Communism."
