The planet’s literally on fire and the bosses still want you DoorDashing in it. Then, when the heat cooks the crime stats, the same system doubles down on cops and cages.

Patrons hear the full 90 min (post-show chaos included). If you’re curious, join us on Patreon or toss a buck to any mutual-aid project that keeps people alive while we organise.
