In this episode, we discuss the Billionaire Space Race and the fact that the spacecraft that Jeff Bezos launched resembled a giant phallus. We also talk about Texas House Democrats, their effort to fight against voter suppression, and Senator Lindsey Graham’s reaction and we give our thoughts on the relationship between capitalism and Japan’s need for the Olympics to go forward in spite of the presence of COVID-19 in the Olympic Village.
