Aggressive Negotiations: A Star Wars Podcast The Nerd Party

Kentucky Fried Pork.

We all love grabbing a bite to eat, and we all assume that it’ll be a safe and clean (enough) experience. But on a galactic scale, whether a Republic or Empire, how could a central bureaucracy even hope to manage the regulations necessary for multiple species to safely eat across thousands of systems? John and Matt try to figure out how difficult it would be, and how much real regulation could even occur.
