Crowdfunding Madness

from Cooler Heads · host Jess and Johnny

In an era of bottomless guilt and endless shame, how are these foundational human impulses weaponized by crowd-funding? We cover some truly outlandish campaigns that have popped up over the last few years. We also discuss an interesting tangent in the Canadian trucker protests of 2022 and how private citizens can be locked out from the financial system for questionable reasons.
