Will’s away, but we’re joined by fan-favorite Derek Davison and host of the Tides of History podcast Patrick Wyman to discuss shrimp supply chains, the ongoing effects of the Bolivian coup, Israel and America’s militaries & the decline of empires.

    First time I’ve listened in a long time, it was actually a decent episode. These days I read the episode description to see if it’s worth my time, the fact there was some discussion of shit that actually matters drew me in. I wish they went into more detail on most of the stuff though, I know it was a 90 minute episode but it felt like twenty 5 minute sections

    The Lebanon discussion is a crazy listen within the context of what happened not 24 hours later.

    I don't want to be a "wrecker" but just so everyone knows, Bath Iron Works, including Local S6, almost exclusively builds and services US Navy vessels and equipment. I hope they continue their strike as long as possible because it hinders the imperialist war machine a tiny bit, but I think it is an excellent example of unions in the imperial core not inherently being a radical project.

      I was too sad about what happened to Will to really focus on the show.
