The Almanacs – Episode May 5, 2022
Rambler's Almanac #79 - May Day is a worldwide celebration of the workers movement, rooted in the history of the fight for an 8 hour work day. We talk about Robert Owen who coined the slogan "Eight hours' labour, Eight hours' recreation, Eight hours' rest" and the Haymarket Affair. We also touch on the immense power that billionaires like Elon Musk have which they could use to end world hunger... or they could just buy Twitter because they like posting too much. Lastly, a discussion of the leaked Supreme Court daft majority opinion written by Alito that would overturn abortion rights in the US.
