Peace with Iran is over, according to President Trump, so the price of fuel rises again, and the world’s stock markets head downwards. Let’s just say the economists are not predicting anything good from this reversal. However, the real threat is fertilizer and food shortages, which, when added to the impacts of extreme heat right now, along with the kicking from a super El Niño, should lead us to expect massive crop losses worldwide, and this will be a reality we’ll all understand in the short-term future. But at least we can have a giggle, with Count Binface going up against Nigel Farage after he resigned from the UK Parliament amid a financial donations controversy. Don’t worry though; Farage is seeking re-election, with the other UK parties saying they won’t contest this election. Does that mean Count Binface could win? No one knows, but at least he’s giving us something to smile about.
Meanwhile, we have extreme heat deniers in the middle of heatwaves, marine heatwaves off the charts, India getting smashed by monsoon rains and landslides, dams and reservoirs bursting in China following Typhoon Maysak, and after Typhoon Bavi devastated the Mariana Islands, it’s now heading for China this weekend. The data is in on mRNA vaccines, the AI story continues, datacenters are using more and more energy, Marine Le Pen has to wear an ankle bracelet but can contest the next French presidential election in 2027, Donald Trump and FIFA have been in hot water, and in US politics, the question is being asked: is Mitch McConnel dead?
As always, a lot going on, and this week it’s just the four of us, which we always appreciate, because it gives us an opportunity to really discuss some of the issues we care about. As an example, last week Richard said he hates what capitalism has become, so we’re going to ask him what’s the difference between good capitalism and bad capitalism?" Interesting question, no?
Come and join us, as we only have one more show after this before we take a summer break, and besides, it’s always informative AND fun. As always, we’ll be going live Friday, 10th July 2026, kicking off at 8am UK, 9am EU, 11am UAE, 12.30pm IN, 2pm TH, 3pm SG, 5pm AEST. Streaming across various locations, and no doubt about it, we’d love your support.
The Sh*t Show is a Livestream happening every Friday, where Andrea T Edwards, Dr. David Ko, Richard Busellato and Joe Augustin, as well as special guests, discuss the world’s most pressing issues across all angles of the polycrisis, working to make sense of the extremely challenging and complex times we are all going through, plus what we can do about it. Help us move the needle so we can change the name of the show to something more genteel when (or if) it is no longer a sh*t show.
