139 - Let’s Go Extinct

A bit doom and gloom this week, we’re talking about the latest IPCC climate report, and guess what? We have a lot of work to do. Like, a lot. Meanwhile, we’re quibbling over whether or not public transport kills businesses (it doesn’t). A Texas woman was charged with murder for a self-induced abortion, a likely sign of things to come if the court overturns Roe v. Wade this summer. And in some more cheery labor news, airport workers around the country are rallying for better wages and working conditions. We’re playing you out with Zombie Guiliani’s Let’s Go Extinct!
