Episode 012 - Grassroots Change, Flock, and Iran with Joni
Joni is a Teton County based activist and organizer. She had her birth as an organizer in response to the October 7th attacks.
We unpack her youth attending a Jewish Zionist school, sustainability with activism, Flock, and how she maintains hope that the class-based method of change can work in Wyoming.

003 - Elon Musk isn't the Problem
HOT TAKE ALERT
Citizens United | More Perfect
CORRECTION: 4.5% interest on $500,000 is $22,500 annually, meaning a $1,875 check each month. I still think I could live off of that... but my point is not that having $500,000 in cash makes you a member of the 1%, just that having capital makes meeting basic expenses a LOT easier. To the Owner Class having 500k is chump change.

Or, how he learned to stop worrying and overthrow the government
Wyoming Constitution:

Article III Section 2 (https://ballotpedia.org/Article_3,_Wyoming_Constitution#Section_2)

001 - Intro
Quick factual note: Jackson Hole Airport is the only comercial airport located within a national park in the continental United States. My fact checker informed me that Alaska has one, too.
So maybe all of the billionaires will move there instead.
I hope you like the Home Depot music in the outro.
