136 - A Hair Plug in Every Scalp
Episode description
The forces of Men’s Rights Activists take control of South Korea in a record-breaking election year for that country thanks in part to Seo Cheon-seok’s digital double. Meanwhile, in Texas, where they have the matriarchy on the run, a woman is forced to fly to Colorado for a life-saving abortion on her wedding day. To help Ukraine realize the kind of freedom enjoyed in America, the world’s third largest military --the combined force of America’s collective police departments-- have started donating their combat gear to that country. We’re not without a wildflower of course: New York is putting those impacted the worst by the Drug War at the front of the line for legal Cannabis growing.
