Joe Biden spent his final week minting pardons like Mugabe minted bank notes. In fact, his last act in office was to pardon his entire family. What does this unprecedented use of the seal of office portend for America’s future – and what has it got to do with the Russian word for roof?
Meanwhile, it’s been a rollercoaster week for zombie-eyed American Zoomers. TikTok was shut down. Then it was reprieved by Trump. In between, Red Note gave them a glimpse into the parallel universe of zombie eyed Chinese Zoomers. Many of whom seemed to have better standards of living in their communist hellhole. What are the geopolitical implications of this collision of worlds?
Finally, after looking at the quality of Chinese youth, we’re discussing the quantity. New demographics numbers are in. And they paint an extraordinary picture. Those Zoomers are humping. Join us as we find out more.
