Hooray for the Void!

Warning: Spoilers
A conspiracy loving Void presents an excellent opening monologue about the bs of Bugs Bunny learning a lesson and then confirms the truth about jet fuel. Also John puts up a pretty good argument about the US's need for a stronger participation in Unions. I'm Australian and didn't have much time for them, but after watching this I'm glad for all the excellent work they did, as well as their presence now which continues to keep businesses honest.

Why I love Australia.
hasansevik20 November 2021
If this episode proves anything, it's that the US has not progressed at all in the last 50 years. Healthcare, tertiary education, gun violence, discrimination, retirement...in so many ways there has been very little to absolutely no progress apart from helping the rich get richer and the poor get angry, desperate and, eventually, forgotten altogether. This episode focuses specifically on unions or, more accurately, the many tactics companies employ and the amount of money they pay (there is a massive irony there alone) to bust unionisation.

We're not perfect by any means. But lately, every week John Oliver reminds me why I'm so fortune to have been born here, in Australia. I'm sorry, guys. You might have your Le Bron's and your Lady Gaga's and whatever else you want to measure your greatness as a country, but the way you treat each other, the way you accept being treated, in all facets of your lives, makes me SO grateful to be Australian.
