"Chlorinated Economics" An Empire Goes Postal

Max and Stacy discuss the fact that trade wars, tariffs, and sanctions are being waged on multiple fronts abroad, while back at home the streets of Los Angeles are bleached regularly as a solution to the problem of extreme poverty and homelessness in the city that benefits from the free ride of global Intellectual Property protection. They liken the disinfectant solution to that of how BigAg in America treats its produce - chicken are not raised in human or sanitary conditions as in Europe, but instead factory farmed in excrement and then washed down with chlorine.
In the second half, Max interviews Constantin Gurdgiev of Macroview.eu about the situation in California and what solutions, if any, are possible. They then discuss deglobalization in the days of Trump, Brexit, and the Yellow Vests.
