Patreon Preview – 98. Logistics of Tragedy and Farce - a podcast by This Machine Kills

outro: Funeral Candies – You're Dead https://youtu.be/TjvQPijYEZ8

We start with discussing an investigation into the harrowing—and fatal—working conditions of delivery drivers in South Korea and the human tragedy at the heart of ecommerce. Moving on to lighter fare—by comparison—we talk through a report on the massive tax breaks and anonymous shell companies supporting the spread of data centres across the US.
