This week’s episode discusses the German workers who elect almost half of corporate boards of directors, major US corporations with negative tax rates and the Kentucky governor’s maneuvers against black-lung victims. We also provide updates on involuntary part-time employment and US evictions, and address the economics of socialism, refuting phony claims by state leaders that there’s “no money.”
