Jay is joined by senior wildfire correspondents Roger and Erica to discuss the forest fires raging across North America. We talk about out of control fires on the edge of the Arctic Circle, the use of prison labour in fighting wildfires, and what kind of mitigation, if any, is possible. We also talk about the psychotic responses of American politicians to the crisis and capitalism’s One Weird Trick to deal with this problem (cutting down every tree while they still can). Also, Jay does a very bad Donald Trump impression.
Erica Thomas is a labour organizer, professor and artist. Roger Peet is an artist, writer and head of comms for the Portland DSA.
