    Veteran's Day USA, Homegrown Zetas at Fort Bragg, and Skyscapers to Nowhere Boomerang Time

    What's up with holiday travel in the times of crumbling infrastructure, climate change, and government disfunction. Let's become passport bros and move to Mexico. How did suppressing the Zapatistas lead to the Zetas. Are the Fort Bragg military personnel our homegrown drug trafficking Zetas? The rise of surveillance technology, and the implications of the AI bubble on the economy seem inevitable. The skyscraper apartments in midtown were a big scam. And ending on a lighter note we shout out the importance of empowering individuals through initiatives like the Bard Prison Initiative.
