Max and 99 are back for another round of Omnibus and kicking off the Fall Fund, Friend, and Hell Raiser. They cover some midterm predictions, and hit headlines on market humanism and how neoliberalism engineered oligarchy inside the shell of democracy, plus RFK Jr. unilaterally greenlighting unapproved peptide injections over FDA scientists’ objections. Then they tackle listener emails on whether the right really plays the long game, why Democrats abandoned the Biden agenda, and what Serbia’s student movement can teach us about non-negotiables. Enjoy!
