Child poverty in Oregon, a movie about MOVE, and some bad ideas about climate change
Bill Resnick hosts this episode of the Old Mole. Here is what's on tap:
 
  • About 50% of the kids of Oregon live in poverty. What do you think our business leaders think should be done about that? Stay tuned.
  • Our Movie Moles review the film “Let the Fire Burn” in memory of MOVE, a collective of black families in Philadelphia, who when they refused to vacate their property, were bombed by helicopter, everybody died, and the police admitted they made a mistake.
  • We bring you a new breed of capitalists, who contend that climate change is great, because they think it will spur the development of wonderful new technologies making all of us even richer and happier.
  • And we demolish the myth of the Anthropocene, the idea that once the human species was on the scene, the earth’s destruction by fossil fuels was inevitable.
