We'll not find out because we'll discuss super dumping instead! All this and another dive into systemic racism within the police force on this week's show!

The answer may surprise you! All this and a new Dear Wesley on this week's joint Father's Day and Juneteenth Day episode!

Thirsty Nut Tax Haven - Those Muckrakers Ep119

Fire Your Boss - Those Muckrakers Ep125

Businesses demand not just your time but your feigning of emotions as well; suffering is not enough, you have to put on a happy face while grease from the fryer burns you and the boss gropes you. Starving on the streets is the only alternative in a world where capitalism is the law of the land!

Also, our own host Peter goes out to sea and has an encounter with… pirates!? Pull up a chair and roast some marshmallows with us Muckrakers on the flames of Trump Tower as it burns a man to death this week!

Israeli-Palestine Conflict - Those Muckrakers Ep16

Low Energy Pat - Those Muckrakers Ep62

Feckless Ghoul Stephen Miller will ramp up immigration policies even worse than the Baby Cages we already have, which has already caused the deaths of many children which were ripped away from their parents in what is now a standardized practice of cruelty. That was considered too soft of treatment for the essential service of immigrant labor, so Trump fired the lady that implemented those crimes against humanity and put an even worse monster in charge.

Impeachment Formalized - Those Muckrakers Ep91

Based on the long tradition of Muckraking journalism exposing corruption Two guys bring you the news every week and tell you why you're not alone screaming into the void. We're all going to die in the apocalypse, but at least the Muckrakers saw it coming, talked about it and made fun of it. So while your scramble to keep the fire lit and fend off the wolves that are closing in, come listen and laugh and just maybe survive just a little bit longer.
