Audio Grab Bag; Alito's Draft Opinion on Roe/Casey

Guest Mark Paul on his new book by Elizabeth and Matt Bruenig

I know this is not of interest to everybody, which is why I've made it a separate bonus episode you can skip. But if you are extremely online like many of us are, you may have seen the spate of articles about Sean McElwee, his departure from Data for Progress, and allegations about participating in illegal straw donor conspiracies. Carl Beijer is one of the great Sean chroniclers and so I've brought him on to fill in all the details. His website --> https://carlbeijer.com/

Matt appeared on The Nordic Model podcast earlier this week. I am crossposting the audio here for your enjoyment. You can follow them on: * Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/2bWggCJikcvBQdtduvF7sa * YouTube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCq-6BFMXDhBV4zlWWcAqguw * Twitter https://twitter.com/TheNordicModel This is not our episode for the week. We will have a special xmas episode out soon.

Liz went on a two-pronged reporting trip, first to DC to cover a congressional hearing, and then to the Mississippi State Penitentiary to cover the execution of David Cox. Matt tagged along and collected bits of audio for this somewhat experimental episode.

Matt pods solo on this one, talking about his hit piece about what happened when McDonalds went to Denmark and tried to run without a union. Talk includes details not in the piece and a telling of a similar story of what happened when Toys R Us went to Sweden in 1995 and tried the exact same shit. At the end of the podcast, Matt uses Lee Harris's article about paid leave in The Prospect to rant and rave about the insanity of what is going on with House Dems when it comes to paid leave.

People seem to like these. So here we go again. Matt discusses the mistake everyone makes about what the welfare state is for. Then he talks about the recent MMT punditry. In the middle is Jarrod's Corner.

Sabotage, picket lines, and mass quits.
