The gang breaks down the controversy surrounding Graham Platner, a former Marine-turned-Democratic Senate candidate from Maine who admitted to receiving a chest tattoo in 2007 that appears to replicate Nazi symbolism. Justin, Jen, and Heaton discuss whether Platner actually is a Nazi, alongside the fate of his current campaign. Then, the crew breaks down Amazon's planned roadmap to replace more than half a million US workers with robots by 2033, all to shave off about 30 cents per item shipped. Is this a step towards improving working conditions at Amazon, or the end of an economic lifeline?
