Hello from a USPS mailbag!
This week, before getting into your letters, we reminisce about Saturday’s election news a.k.a the international dopamine-flood event. We “wow just wow” at the Democratic establishment’s (ridiculous and ridiculously premature) punch left, and swoon over AOC’s punch back in an interview with the New York Times. We also dissect a viral video of Tucker Carlson explaining why Butler, PA, and so many other places in the US (will) remain loyal to Trump.
Listener Questions
@irl_neil asks how “small business owners” fit into a broader progressive agenda. How should we confront the bootstraps values so popular with immigrant communities?
@hasui_SEA asks what the Biden administration might mean for the US–China Cold War-style tensions we often discuss on TTSG?
Listeners Henry and Cathy H. ask about the utility of the “Asian American” (or Asian Canadian) category from the perspective of South Asian and Southeast Asian immigrants.
M. asks about the racial landmines, circa 2020, that await her young hapa (mixed-race Asian) child.
Finally, Adriana and Ellen ask about the black–white binary in academia—within both the “diversity” bureaucracy complex and the ethnic-studies classroom.
The Trump administration hinders the transition of power as the Justice Department OK's investigations of voter fraud. More places see coronavirus spikes. The Supreme Court considers Obamacare. CBS News Correspondent Steve Kathan has today's World News Roundup.

Jeff Bermant is originally from the east cost, specifically a superb of New York City called Rye. He left the big apple to head to USC in California, to be a highly ranked tennis player. After school, he played the pro circuit for bit but eventually moved on. Now a days, he is into cycling, and has gotten to ride with Lance Armstrong - who told him to make sure to keep his day job. He worked for Coldwell Banker in the real estate business, under Bob Selleck (Tom Selleck's Dad). After that he started his own real estate business, which he did for 30 years. But after a while, he realized that he really enjoyed creating - and a lot of that sort of thing gets lost in the real estate business.
He got into tech because, believe it or not - he was annoyed at the internet, and its lack of privacy. After a casual conversation with his son, he realized that the average user is not getting paid for their data. He found this to be wrong - and set out to fix the problem, to ensure users got paid for their data, not Google, Facebook or anyone else.
This is the creation story of Cocoon - MyDataRewards.

There’s a funny thing about alcohol. Every time the government makes it hard to get, the greater the lengths humans go to get it. Throughout human history we’ve found mind-bendingly creative ways to obtain our precious hooch, and the higher the government barriers the larger the black market. But moonshining isn’t just an American Prohibition era story, it’s a modern day--and global--phenomenon. So grab your jug and listen along as we compare moonshine myths and lore with modern day reality.
In which we learn that the massive global banana export market is a precarious monoculture doomed to disaster because of a tiny fungus, and John thinks Sean Young might be a time traveler. Certificate #26039.
Some early exit polls showed Joe Biden winning a strong majority of Latino voters but if you look closely there’s a more complicated story. In some key areas, Biden and Democrats more broadly underperformed with Latino voters compared to Hillary Clinton in 2016. How did the Biden campaign miss the mark?
Guest: Chuck Rocha, head of Nuestro PAC.
