149 - The Invisible Boot

We have an Ironreads for you this week, courtesy of the Times Union’s Chris Churchill. Stop letting Andrew Cuomo live rent free in your head! The J6 hearings aren’t convincing swing state republicans to switch teams, and are in fact further entrenching both sides. The Fed has decided that workers have had it too good for too long and need some disciplining. A bitcoin mine in the Finger Lakes has everybody pissed off–will Kathy care? Gilded Age is set to return to the Capital District, and David has some choice words for Julian Fellows and the inaccurate historical representation of streets in 1882. Finally, the workers at Capital Roots have requested recognition of their union with SEIU Local 200. Please email their CEO to express your support for the staff–link at the bottom!
