Time To Say Goodbye - Click, buy, suffer? Plus listener questions

Hello from Tammy’s 104-degree podcast studio!

This week, we talk about the nightmare of piled-up container ships on the West coast, why Covid has triggered these crises along the global supply chain, a bit of logistics history, and the dire ecological future that awaits us.

Also, for the first time in a while, some listener questions:

* Are there racial aspects to Yang’s mayoral downfall? Or do Yang’s two campaigns tell us something about the difference between appealing to Asians versus a wider public?

* More on the “Asian pessimism” discussion from last week?

* Any social-justice wins to be happy about?

Thanks to Stephanie, Sam, and Cliff for their questions! And thanks to all of you for listening and subscribing. Stay cool!
