In reality, it's about thirty seven percent of 79 00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,560 Speaker 1: the presidents have used it. It hasn't been used in 80 00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:03,480 Speaker 1: thirty years since the LA riots. But he he wants 81 00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:06,400 Speaker 1: to do it, and I think he's going to give. 82 00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:09,640 Speaker 3: Fucking Chicago good luck trying to do that to Chicago. 83 00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:11,120 Speaker 3: Ins Do you know how much of those people love 84 00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:14,480 Speaker 3: their fucking city.

They're going to defend their city. 89 00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:33,360 Speaker 1: So, but that's kind of what he wants. He wants 90 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:36,360 Speaker 1: a violent clash. He wants the most chaos and violence 91 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:38,640 Speaker 1: possible so that he can call off the elections. 92 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:43,520 Speaker 2: I think is oh, we're looking at Yeah, that's true, Christy.

Like, because Trump has been impeached, right, 102 00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:12,920 Speaker 3: so what does that practically? What does that mean? 103 00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:18,920 Speaker 1: There's still like, you know, there's a prison riot happening 104 00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:22,960 Speaker 1: and they're like still handing out pink slips. It feels like, yeah, 105 00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,200 Speaker 1: you know what I mean, they're still being like you're 106 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:27,440 Speaker 1: in the hallway when you're not supposed to be. So 107 00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 1: you're actually going to get a demerit for this. 108 00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:33,640 Speaker 3: Shout out to the Black Panther Party who's showing up 109 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,000 Speaker 3: to protect protesters. I love you. 110 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:41,039 Speaker 1: Guys, Yeah, absolutely, but yeah, I mean obviously feels inadequate 111 00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:44,400 Speaker 1: given mistakes, and the Republicans will not support this, and 112 00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:47,560 Speaker 1: it's not clear even how many Democrats are willing to 113 00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:50,080 Speaker 1: be counted in supporting the effort. But I guess we 114 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:54,200 Speaker 1: can say that it is and this is official not 115 00:05:54,200 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 1: nothing most we can ask for from these guys. 116 00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:03,839 Speaker 3: Cory Booker is about to fill a buster again. Watch out. 117 00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:09,480 Speaker 2: Fill a buster. That was so brave. What a moment. 118 00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:11,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel like we need to put that on 119 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:15,839 Speaker 1: the list of like many things from Kamala Harris's campaign 120 00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:21,720 Speaker 1: the imagined video. Just like moments of the old establishment 121 00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:24,039 Speaker 1: democratic people doing their best. 122 00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 3: They should have just been in musical theater, like honestly, 123 00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:29,599 Speaker 3: they want the attention, they want to perform. 124 00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:36,240 Speaker 1: Just go to Broadway, dude, Nancy Pelosi kneeling with the coupeon. 125 00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:38,400 Speaker 2: A lot of great markins. 126 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:40,760 Speaker 3: No way that hasn't been in a black box theater 127 00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:43,200 Speaker 3: somewhere off Broadway. There's no way. 128 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:48,000 Speaker 2: The dramatic recreation of that moment. All right. 129 00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:51,919 Speaker 1: You may have seen that the value of a human 130 00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:57,080 Speaker 1: life is now being lowered to zero dollars by the EPA. 131 00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:04,200 Speaker 1: So this is a weird story that requires some background understanding. 132 00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:07,400 Speaker 1: But first of all, just overall, this is going to 133 00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:09,360 Speaker 1: surprise a lot of our listeners. But apparently putting a 134 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:11,600 Speaker 1: bunch of ex oil lobbyists in charge of the EPA 135 00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 1: was a bad thing. The New York Times recently reported 136 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:17,280 Speaker 1: that the EPA has decided to revise its rules. Instead 137 00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:20,040 Speaker 1: of calculating the health benefits of reducing air pollution to 138 00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:23,360 Speaker 1: determine clean air regulations, they'll simply focus on the costs 139 00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:27,920 Speaker 1: to businesses, which is being reported as a seismic shift 140 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,720 Speaker 1: that runs counter to the EPA's mission statement, which says 141 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:34,680 Speaker 1: the agency's corresponsibility is to protect human health and the environment, 142 00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:40,680 Speaker 1: and now it is being calculated in dollars like costs 143 00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:42,200 Speaker 1: only two businesses. 144 00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:44,920 Speaker 3: Okay, we need to raise money to make everyone an 145 00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:48,960 Speaker 3: LLC at this point to protect our individual human rights. Yeah, 146 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:51,760 Speaker 3: everyone needs to register as an LLC and then we'll 147 00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:53,760 Speaker 3: get taxi, we'll get pretic. 148 00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:56,480 Speaker 2: That really might be what it takes. 149 00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:59,280 Speaker 1: So this is very good news for the owners of 150 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:02,840 Speaker 1: coal burning our plants, oil refineries, steel mills, and other 151 00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:07,400 Speaker 1: industrial facilities across the country. They were celebrating bad news 152 00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:10,960 Speaker 1: for anyone who has to breathe. Oh my god, it 153 00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:14,080 Speaker 1: exposed something to me that was already happening that was 154 00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:17,080 Speaker 1: really fucked up, like the thing that is going away, 155 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:20,760 Speaker 1: or that the value that has been lowered to zero. 156 00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:26,760 Speaker 1: Is that the EPA actually already since the Reagan administration. 157 00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:30,560 Speaker 1: It's weird that they came up with the thing assigns 158 00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:33,960 Speaker 1: a monetary value of a human life in their cost 159 00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:35,200 Speaker 1: benefit analysis. 160 00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:38,000 Speaker 3: This is why I could never study economics in college. 161 00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:40,400 Speaker 3: That's like all it's about is like the value of 162 00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:45,120 Speaker 3: humanity and like the like, like cynically predicting people's worth 163 00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:47,480 Speaker 3: through their lifetime and how many times they like go 164 00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:50,000 Speaker 3: to the emergency room or go to prison or whatever. 165 00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:54,000 Speaker 3: It's like, it's the least hopeful subject. I'm sorry to 166 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:57,320 Speaker 3: all it'sonymous out there. I just couldn't my heart couldn't 167 00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:57,800 Speaker 3: handle it. 168 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:01,040 Speaker 2: Economics is going to be studied the future as like 169 00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:03,520 Speaker 2: holy shit, like look, how fucked up. 170 00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:07,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's gonna be like what's the thing where they 171 00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:09,680 Speaker 3: study like people's brain phrenology. 172 00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:14,080 Speaker 2: Or whatever, Like what's it called phrenology? Yeah, but it's 173 00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:15,199 Speaker 2: like so revealing. 174 00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:18,280 Speaker 1: This is one of one of the very first things 175 00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:22,080 Speaker 1: that radicalized me against capitalism is as currently practiced in 176 00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:24,880 Speaker 1: the US. Is this book The Corporation that I read 177 00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:29,520 Speaker 1: in high school that talks about how corporations evaluate everything 178 00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:31,840 Speaker 1: in terms of monetary value and risk. And so they 179 00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:35,040 Speaker 1: would decide it was looking at like car companies in 180 00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:37,920 Speaker 1: the seventies and eighties, and they would decide whether to 181 00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:41,800 Speaker 1: recall a car based not on whether that car would 182 00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:44,880 Speaker 1: kill someone, which they like, they would find a defect, 183 00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:46,080 Speaker 1: be like okay, this is going. 184 00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:49,400 Speaker 3: To kill the bullet strategy, right. 185 00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:53,920 Speaker 1: But they would instead look at had run a cost 186 00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:58,920 Speaker 1: benefit analysis on what the resulting lawsuits of those deaths. 187 00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:03,640 Speaker 2: But they knew their cause would presumably cost the company. 188 00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:06,760 Speaker 3: Well, if you look at it this way, to corporations, 189 00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:10,760 Speaker 3: money is like oxygen, so they needed to survive. Thank 190 00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:14,720 Speaker 3: you and the other seriformers type shit, you know. 191 00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:15,280 Speaker 2: Yeah. 192 00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:17,719 Speaker 1: The other thing that book talked about was that corporations 193 00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:23,920 Speaker 1: are legally viewed as humans with rights, and therefore if 194 00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:26,120 Speaker 1: you look at the if you view a corporate, a 195 00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:28,880 Speaker 1: single corporation as a human actor, you'd be like that 196 00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:32,040 Speaker 1: person would be in jail forever. Like they're a complete psychopath. 197 00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:33,760 Speaker 1: They knowingly like killed people. 198 00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:37,360 Speaker 3: But they also they did it as a group in suits, 199 00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:40,600 Speaker 3: so it's fine. This is like worse than like if 200 00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:44,960 Speaker 3: you read like Isaac asked someps books about like robots 201 00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,200 Speaker 3: and ship one of the rules is like you can't 202 00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:52,600 Speaker 3: harm humans, right, and like this is a colder predictor 203 00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:55,240 Speaker 3: of the future than anything. It's crazy. 204 00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:55,600 Speaker 2: Yeah. 205 00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:59,440 Speaker 1: The Singularity, the thing that like sci fi authors have 206 00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:01,599 Speaker 1: been talking about out with like it is going to 207 00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:04,760 Speaker 1: come and take over. The Singularity has been here. 208 00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:07,680 Speaker 3: It is we need to join because that's the only 209 00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:10,360 Speaker 3: way for us to protect ourselves. If we become a 210 00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:14,720 Speaker 3: part of them. Then they'll be like, wow, you deserve oxygen. 211 00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:17,400 Speaker 2: Actually incorporate yourself, guys, come. 212 00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:19,000 Speaker 3: On, Carol, incorporate yourself. 213 00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:24,000 Speaker 2: We love you. But with climate change, like, it can't. 214 00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:27,440 Speaker 1: So the it's basically the same calculation, right, it can't 215 00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:30,880 Speaker 1: actually hurt them because there's no legislation in place to 216 00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:35,040 Speaker 1: find governments accountable for like all the people that they 217 00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:37,880 Speaker 1: kill or like there if there is, it's like way 218 00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:40,439 Speaker 1: down the down the road and it's not gonna like 219 00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:42,680 Speaker 1: house that any discomfort. 220 00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:44,440 Speaker 3: They'll be dead the Dick Cheney method. 221 00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:46,719 Speaker 1: Yeah, and I'm not saying that should be the way 222 00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:48,280 Speaker 1: it is, but that's just been the way it is. 223 00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:52,120 Speaker 1: So ultimately it's going to net out to zero. And 224 00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:54,600 Speaker 1: that's where we are now, where they've been. Like, so 225 00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:57,480 Speaker 1: they used to value the value of a human life 226 00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:01,520 Speaker 1: at a nine point one million dollars that was last year. 227 00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:04,040 Speaker 3: Is that how they pay out like lawsuits and ship 228 00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:05,199 Speaker 3: Is that the same? 229 00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:08,560 Speaker 2: No? I don't. I don't think it's based on lawsuits. 230 00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:11,960 Speaker 1: I think it's based on literally what they do is 231 00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:16,559 Speaker 1: they take the GDP of the country and then they 232 00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:21,400 Speaker 1: divide it by like the working population. Oh but that 233 00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:25,560 Speaker 1: would mean that life itself is worth a little less 234 00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:28,240 Speaker 1: than what Cameron Diaz got paid for two days of 235 00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:29,880 Speaker 1: sitting in a sound booth for Shrek Too. 236 00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:32,560 Speaker 2: That's courtesy courtesy of jm Are. 237 00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:36,800 Speaker 3: So that's like less than some white people pay for 238 00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:38,439 Speaker 3: pet care, you know what I mean. 239 00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:42,680 Speaker 1: Like it's my pet care budget. Okay, yeah, you better 240 00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:45,720 Speaker 1: up that number. And then in a Biden Arrow report, 241 00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:48,240 Speaker 1: the EPA suggested that a life lost in a lower 242 00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:51,319 Speaker 1: income country due to climate change is worth less than 243 00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:54,679 Speaker 1: life lost in a higher income country because the e 244 00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:57,640 Speaker 1: p A, as I was saying, chose to weigh the 245 00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:00,560 Speaker 1: mortality costs of climate change in proportion to the capita 246 00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:04,160 Speaker 1: income of the country where someone dies, And so Canada's 247 00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:08,160 Speaker 1: GDP per capita is more than sixteen times that of Haiti, 248 00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:12,200 Speaker 1: and so a Canadian life is worth sixteen times that 249 00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:13,640 Speaker 1: of a Haitian life. 250 00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:16,400 Speaker 3: I don't understand how we're like the same species as 251 00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:19,240 Speaker 3: these people. Like I just I'm like, these people are 252 00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:23,160 Speaker 3: like the scum of the earth. It's crazy, yeah, because 253 00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:25,960 Speaker 3: that's we already we already know that they're valued like 254 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,760 Speaker 3: that to you, because you're letting climate change happen and 255 00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:31,720 Speaker 3: it's affecting the global South, and like poor people in 256 00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:34,559 Speaker 3: cities when things flood, like we already. 257 00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:36,160 Speaker 2: Knowledgeable cost differentially. 258 00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:39,920 Speaker 3: And you're like, no, let's put it down in a book. Yeah, 259 00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:41,080 Speaker 3: it's crazy. 260 00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:44,040 Speaker 1: So by their calculations, actually, so I was like, oh, 261 00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:46,080 Speaker 1: of course America is going to be number one. 262 00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:46,840 Speaker 2: Qatar. 263 00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:51,839 Speaker 1: A Katari life is worth one hundred and eighteen Burundian 264 00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:55,680 Speaker 1: lives worth more than an American life. A German life 265 00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:58,880 Speaker 1: is worth twelve Cambodian lives, Australian life is worth four 266 00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:02,200 Speaker 1: Indonesian lives. You might notice a trend here of like 267 00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:04,720 Speaker 1: what the people in these countries look like that have 268 00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:08,000 Speaker 1: lives that are more valuable. Although a Russian life worth 269 00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:13,640 Speaker 1: two Ukrainian lives. Wow, you might be surprised to learn 270 00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:15,720 Speaker 1: that we can lay the blame for a lot of 271 00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:19,080 Speaker 1: this on if you had to guess a historical figure. 272 00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:23,160 Speaker 3: Oh, I'm gonna look down and say the man who 273 00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:24,440 Speaker 3: got the best blowjobs of his. 274 00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:31,280 Speaker 1: Life, Ronald Reagan.

But 288 00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:13,480 Speaker 3: like it's crazy to me, like when it comes to air, 289 00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:16,800 Speaker 3: do they have like nets that we can't see around 290 00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:21,240 Speaker 3: their like hedge enclosed households, like like they're exposed to 291 00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:21,880 Speaker 3: it too. 292 00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:24,600 Speaker 1: But they can do they afford the best medical care? 293 00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:25,800 Speaker 1: I guess is the way?

So what we do is we just create 316 00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:37,520 Speaker 1: a dollar, a monetary value. 317 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:39,600 Speaker 2: That's the only thing they'll understand. 318 00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:44,040 Speaker 1: And then of course eventually they're just going to be like, yeah, 319 00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:47,600 Speaker 1: we actually don't give a fuck. You can't tell us 320 00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:50,000 Speaker 1: that something's worth money. We're just not going to believe you. 321 00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:52,960 Speaker 1: And now it's down to zero, and now it's just 322 00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:55,680 Speaker 1: about the costs to businesses. 323 00:16:56,040 --> 00:17:00,320 Speaker 3: This is why money isn't real and community is and 324 00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:04,000 Speaker 3: you gotta organize and protect each other. 325 00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:06,879 Speaker 2: Seems like a bad system.
