In this no fangled country, we have gotten to look at various iterations of ol' pop on the television.

There's a little something about nostalgia. Thinking back and looking at the things we enjoyed with rose tinted glasses. Sometimes that isn't the case.

Tribalism, what is it good for? Initially for keeping us silly humans alive another day. Mike and Manny lightly seek the answer if tribalism is still good for humans.

The US Government collected data, and without knowing it they answered a generational argument! No Generation is (on average) more or less productive than any other generation.

Manny & Mike can't seem to get enough gambling in their lives; but rather than throwing their money away at the casino, they opt to gamble by getting extended warranties and insurance. Betting that they'll get enough med or repair bills that those sleazy companies will have to pay out. Its got to be worth something to keep us from letting this enshitification bring us down. All that glitters is sure to fade as the best companies and services are all doomed to rent seek and ruin everything that made them worth spending on. I guess it's time to increase ad revenue...

Manny and Mike get together and weigh the heft of their social impact. So so many corporations singing the praises of the individual effort. Keeping a green home to do your part.
