the main reason why billionaires pay so little income taxes is that they have a relatively low income. Their are billionaires because of their non monetary assets, like stock. If stock price goes up and you don't sell your stock, you don't pay taxes

Gotta "love" a man who has walking around emeralds.

Who is Elon Musk? We dive into the billionaire's history, both personal and professional. Our guest is journalist Ken Klippenstein who joins us to discuss the many facets of Musk's public image and the allegations of his ties to the late Jeffrey Epstein, among plenty of other things.

Episode 188: The Busch Family

Legends of inner earth cities, advanced denizens of long lost continents, monumental magical bell makers, and ascended masters. Mount Shasta, California is a sacred site to the indigenous communities in the area ranging back for thousands of years. It's also a hotspot of UFOs, Sasquatch, and portals to other dimensions, as well as the birthplace of the I AM cult. Our new inner earth correspondent Brad Abrahams brings us on a journey into Mount Shasta.

216 - No Cap 06.24.22

The new documentary series UNPRECEDENTED (2022) seeks to offer an unfiltered look at the Trump family in the weeks before the 2020 election and the January 6 riot. We discuss how its thickets of editorial commentary obscure a potentially compelling look into America's former first family, and then have a laugh reading from Trump Jr's debut book "Triggered."

Dimitri continues tracking the bloody and complex political intrigues at play in and around 1980s Liberia, including: Charles Taylor’s mysterious “escape” from a US federal prison in 1985, rumors and counter-rumors of US government forces arranging the jailbreak, Doe blatantly rigging the elections of 1985 with US support, the failure of Gen. Thomas Quiwonkpa’s November 1985 coup, the CIA tip-off/“message from God” to Doe that resulted in Quiwonkpa’s defeat and ritual cannibalization in the streets of Monrovia, Samuel Doe’s late 80s anti-neocolonial turn and the collapse of his warm relationship with the Reagan/Bush administrations, Charles Taylor’s murky activities between 1985-1989 in West Africa, meeting President Thomas Sankara in Burkina Faso and training at Gaddafi’s “World Revolutionary Center”, Sankara's socialist transformation of Upper Volta into Burkina Faso and refusal to pay Western debts, and last but not least, Charles Taylor’s pivotal but well-concealed role in the CIA/French-backed assassination of Sankara in October 1987.

[UNLOCKED] #122b - DEMON FORCES 3, Part Two: Sacrifices for a Revolution

We get some Parisian updates and stories from Ed. Then we enter the mind palace of a libertarian who, with all the annoying pretension of a philosophy major, tried to make ChatGPT say the word. We wrap up with a discussion of the “year of efficiency” in Silicon Valley as the biggest four tech companies are rewarded with over $800 billion in market cap for making massive job cuts, massive stock buybacks, and massive investments in AI.

231. Paris Syndrome

In this week’s episodes, we dig into an excellent (and very long) new law article, which is crucial for understanding the history, mechanics, constraints, and consequences of venture capitalism. How did this very particular model of investment, which is guided by its own idiosyncratic interests and structural imperatives, come to hold the reins of our global innovation system? And what does that mean for how key decisions are made about technological development?

Article we discuss:

238. Ventures in Capitalist Innovation, Part 1: History and Mechanics

We go in-depth on an article that has not received the attention it is due: an investigation into an automated welfare fraud system in the Netherlands, which is based on unprecedented access to the machine learning model, its training data, and operational handbooks. Through a deep analysis of the systems mechanics, this investigation goes beyond validating what we already know to be true about how such algorithms discriminate. It shows how these systems are complex and targeted in their discrimination, while also being simplistic and arbitrary in their decisions.

Articles we discuss 
••• Inside the Suspicion Machine https://www.wired.com/story/welfare-state-algorithms/ 
••• Welfare surveillance system violates human rights, Dutch court rules https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2020/feb/05/welfare-surveillance-system-violates-human-rights-dutch-court-rules

247. Automated Welfare – the Simple Violence of Complex Machines

Jack, Yair and Geraint are back from another period in the wilderness to spit some real hard left politics, both on the ongoing Starmer situation and in our new, wholly unique segment "America Corner". We also go in on the bizarre convergence of the left-wing Socialist Campaign Group and the not-left-wing Armed Forces Parliamentary Scheme, and - in spite of the rockin' artwork and Van Morrison-inspired title - barely talk about classic rock at all.
