Ep. 135: Lobsters, Labor, & Lies
Amazon is paying people to assert their fulfillment centers are NOT dystopic workspaces. Some dumb ass with a sports website is breaking US labor law. And Ben Carson doesn't understand why people criticize "opportunity zones" for making the rich richer (reminder: he's the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development...).
Also a very special guest--none other than JORDAN PETERSON.
