Billionaires Protect Themselves as They Burn Down the World And We're Not Having It

from Walter Rhein Podcast · host Walter Rhein and Shane Yirak

Hey Friends!I love these dudes! The Friday rant was just sort of born into the world by the power of three immortals, and now we’re on our… what, 6th or 7th week? Shane Yirak is always on fire and Arturo Dominguez speaks with the wisdom of 10 generations. And me… well, I occasionally crash out.The initial concept of the Friday Rant was to just engage in some primal scream therapy. Holy cow does it work! It feels like a deep tissue massage for your brain. Every week some new aspect of our reality is revealed to me. I feel like that meme where the brain goes from a stick drawing to some interdimensional being of light.As for me, I’ve gone from a stick drawing to a stick drawing that’s been crudely colored in with blue crayon… but it’s early.Does AI use (…)? It will now!Anyway, sit back, grab your preferred beverage. Do the laundry, and listen to last week’s Friday rant. I’m slow posting these replays because I want to have content scheduled for the Holidays. I intend on taking a break.I hope you enjoy this conversation!Thank you Nick Paro, P. J.
