taking a toll on us both figuratively, and literally … and literally.

This is very much like the last Climate Town video, about how Chicago sold its streets to some hedge fund for like 60 years and now they're basically fucked.

I have a note - them non-ads were non-festive. As we all know, a double negative is a positive. Very good math joke.

Conservative governments are so fiscally irresponsible

God America is such a shithole. We live in the timeline where Robocop's OCP won everything.

I appreciate you guys delivering news nuggets in a format that almost makes me able to digest all the bullshit.

I still like the Phantom Tollbooth.

Brilliant work as always news dude and crew. Your letter reading at the end had me rolling. Also I feel like someone on the staff should have told him that the pen was broken and paper has been blank for forever. The news is just a simulation and Warmbo only exists in Cody’s mind. It’s kind of like the plot of the video game Assassins Creed, just with Boars and eggs and somehow Katy is the one running the evil megacorp.

As a virginian, I am happy whenever I see representation on this show of how much this state sucks dick
