Should Individuals Campaign To Get Corporate Rights?

Max and Stacy discuss Wells Fargo getting away with a measly fine for fraudulently opening bank accounts and credit cards in the names of unsuspecting customers. And while corporations in the US have the rights of individuals, like free speech, individuals do not have the rights granted to corporations – like no jail time for a fraud for which an individual would face 20 years in prison.
In the second half, Max interviews bitcoin educator, programmer, and entrepreneur, Jimmy Song, about the latest happenings with regards to building layers on bitcoin. They also discuss his new book, available for pre-order, 'Programming Bitcoin: Learn How to Program Bitcoin from Scratch', based on his blockbuster bitcoin course. 


Max and Stacy discuss the 116th Congress and the youngest female congressperson from whom the media cannot turn away: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. They wonder if her star appeal will harm the Democratic candidates throwing their hats into the ring for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination. They also discuss weaponized crickets in Cuba, job numbers putting the Fed between a rock and a hard place, and the ongoing Gilets Jaunes protests in France but crossing borders. Max interviews Randy Voller, former mayor and former head of the Democratic Party in North Carolina, for his thoughts on the Democratic race for 2020, what AOC’s popularity says about the base, and all the latest on the vote-rigging and gerrymandering scandals happening in North Carolina.
