NOTE: Like our last episode, this one was recorded on October 6th. In the past two weeks, Ben was on vacation and then Anthony was, so we haven't recorded recently. Our next episode will be released on October 25th, covering a slew of current events and doing a deep dive on the history and current situation between Israel and Palestine.

This episode's current events:- The Consumer Financial Bureau is facing a legal threat, but it looks unlikely to go through- Sanctions have failed to hit Russia's oil income, but have succeeded in curbing their natural gas output- The September jobs report blew everyone out of the water- Center-right legislators in Germany have made their first coalition with the fascist AfD party in local government in Thuringia. It's the same place the Nazis were first allowed into a governing coalition.In this week's deep dive, we look at the transition to electric vehicles, a crucial part of the plan to go carbon neutral. We look at which countries are leading the charge, which are lagging behind, what the speed of the transition is, how the technology is advancing, and the look of the entire supply chain.#politics #liberal #climatechange #cfpb #sanctions #russia #oil #income #economy #jobs #jobsreport #germany #afd #evs #ev #electricvehicle #carbonneutral #china #usa
