Look. Maureen is in the puppy pen again. Sometimes, she goes in there all on her own. Times are tough all over OK? Don't judge.

Remember the halcyon days of checks calendar two weeks ago when it seemed like we were in a real lull period? Yeah, not anymore so much. Shit is getting real all over and so on...

BARK

What's that?

Oh, more puppy talk? Sure, we can work with that.

Also, Maureen attempts to name all 22 Democratic candidates for mayor, Bill Barr gets found in contempt, and Amy Carter's Shoe reveals something about Joe Biden that you ABSOLUTELY WILL WANT TO UNKNOW. Plus, Oscar pays a visit! It turns out he's real and not a character Maureen has just made up all these years. Who knew?

Anyway, we're trying.

It's easy to convince yourself, or be convinced by others, that the decisions we make as individuals or at a community level don't really matter when there are 7.5 billion other people on the planet and a global economy worth more than $100 trillion per year. But what if  I told you there was no such thing as the "global economy"? We're often made to feel as if the global economy shapes us; in reality, we get to shape it every time we take a job, quit a job, spend a dollar, invest a dollar, or decide to keep chickens rather than buy eggs. Not everyone has the same capacity to shape the global economy, but everyone's decisions count. This week, Richard Denniss talks to broadcaster Indira Naidoo about how the community garden is an act of political rebellion, and ACT Chief Minister Andrew Barr about making coalition governments work.
