Welcome to 2021 folks! We’ve finally left the hell hole of 2020, none of the problems from there can possibly get to us. Instead, US Congress made illegal streaming a felony, while Facebook and Google are… well, it’s not a story the Jedi would tell you. (We suppose, then, that 2020 can still affect us)


EPISODE MISTAKES: We referred to the last 2020 stimulus bill as the CARES Act. This was, in fact, the original stimulus bill that passed (which provided $1200 per individual). The bill we are referring to is the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021, which included the felony streaming rider bill.
