More like lack of proper enforcement of property laws...

J.K. Galbraith, in the Age of Uncertainty, following some lovely anecdotes about Churchill having coal miners shot etc, uses this decision by Churchill (as Ch/Exchq) to argue that he basically caused the Great Depression and WWII. A nice tip for arguing with your racist uncle for whom genocidal colonialism just isn't enough.

cutting of Megan's last word was deliciously bitchy, thank you <3

As Hank Hill says: "Find what your niche is, and you will find riches."

that notion is good, it undermines the stock market entirely

this book seems like its aimed at white middle class suburbanites with dreams of being business owners, to convince them to fearlessly join the ranks of the perpetually-failing petite bourgeoisie

Episode 18 - The Upset Guv'ner: De Crecio's Brexit Bungle feat. @jonathanshainin (6/27/16)

In this suicode, the original Chapo Film Crew reunites with Matt V. Brady (@mattvbrady) and commits suicide over the sick, demented and flat-out twisted SuiCiDe sQuAd. The making of the film was Hollywood's Vietnam; the plot of the film was written by a divorced PUA; and the characters in the film are bold racist stereotypes.

Take the red pill and join Jared Leto in his beautiful dark twisted wankery.

Frost/Christman-Episode 2- The Legend of Curly's Gold

This week we talk to journalist Maria Hengeveld about her new piece in Slate covering Nike's supply chain and embrace of the "Girl Effect," which has allowed female Vietnamese workers to lean in without the distraction of a living wage. 

Later, we talk about the dorks on the alt-right and their nemeses, and ours, on the elevator-right, i.e. the pear-shaped Catholic failsons who suffer from chronic public entrapment.

Episode 56 - Under Seige 3: Before Year Zero (11/7/16)

Will, Matt, Felix and Virgil wake up in The Zone to take in the election results, process the shock, and accept Bill Mitchell as our new dad. More importantly, we discuss the failures of America’s expert/lanyard class, liberal ass-covering, the impotence and irrelevance of the Democratic Party, and our new purpose and priorities under the coming Trump regime.

Reasons to be scared, reasons for hope, and assurance that we’re still ready to ride with you all every day.

Episode 58 - We Live in The Zone Now (11/12/16)

This is Chapo season 2. Erin Gloria Ryan (@morninggloria) of the Daily Beast stops by to chat about the Hamilton Incident, Trump and Chris Christie's breakup, conservative protest and comedy, and martial arts in the age of Trump.

A Turkey Day treat for all! Our pal T (@RickyRawls) stops by the Park Slope Mansion to discuss his run-ins with the Anime Nazis/alt-right, their racial narcissism, and how Leon Festinger's "When Prophecy Fails" applies to Democrats after the election upset. We also wonder why Mike Pence even wanted to see Hamilton in the first place.

Here's an interview with T on the alt-right: http://thoughtcatalog.com/daniel-hayes/2016/11/an-interview-with-a-black-man-who-loves-standing-up-to-alt-right-trolls-on-twitter/

Episode 62 Teaser - Do You Hear The Dirtbags Sing

First we talk to Ezekiel Kweku of MTV about his diagnosis of the Democratic Party's failure this year, how they can beat white nationalism next time around, and the Æon Flux animated series. Then the full Chapo team assembles to tackle the book "The Up Side of Down: Why Failing Well Is the Key to Success" by Bloomberg View blogger and chronically wrong person Megan McArdle. It's a horrible dumb book and everyone gets mad at Will for making them read it.

Mystery Science Theater 3000’s Bill Corbett stops by the mansion to join us in pummeling the life out of conservative entrepreneur and filmmaker Dinesh D'Souza's stupid and bizarre documentary "Hillary's America." The movie is obviously racist and creepy and hilarious and the only accurate costumes were KKK robes.

It was an honor to do a show with Bill and he is now our FailDad.

Episode 73 - Better Call Saul Alinsky feat. Bill Corbett (1/15/17)

The genius Tim Heidecker is on the show, we talk about Alex Jones selling out, comedy in the age of Trump, and President Hamburgler wandering around the White House in the dark with old cartoon-style pajamas and a candle. We conclude with a new entry of "True Allegiance," with a special reading from Tim as Brett Hawthorne.
