Topic: Grocers

The economic shutdown is viewed as a catalyst for "Agenda 21" goals, specifically the elimination of small, independent businesses in favor of a centralized technocracy. The hosts worry that local establishments, such as neighborhood laundrettes and small grocers, will not survive a multi-week closure.

The hosts discuss technical issues with PayPal subscriptions and the benefits of sending physical checks for anonymity. Adam Curry gives a shout-out to the staff at Royal Blue Grocer in downtown Austin, noting that younger generations are increasingly listening to the podcast.
