We're joined by JT Chapman from the First Thought and Second Thought YouTube channels, and The Deprogram podcast, to recap the recent UAW strike, how the working class won big, and how this might lead to a general strike.

Plus: Elon is up to his usual union-busting antics, but this time he's up against nearly every union in Sweden. And the Cybertruck roll out hasn't gone as smoothly as he would've liked.

But first: JT's hotrod Volvo project.

There was a random song at around ~1 hour mark.

Also why can't you use non-water anti freeze liquid in drift thingy? meow-floppy

It was supposed to be "No More Tears" by Ozzy when we were talking about tiers of autoworkers.

Antifreeze isn't permitted on racetracks because if it spills out it can ruin the traction for any cars behind you.

Ah my music comprehension failed me sadness

It was a bit of a stretch on my part, since the new contracts don't fully eliminate tiers
