In this episode of Tran Girlismo, we finally dig into the Slate Truck. We both do not like it. Next up, President Deals decides to destroy his own trade deal because we live under textual fascism! Weirdly, we both have complicated feelings about this, because it turns out that global trade and American imperialism are not clear-cut issues. Finally, Jordan explains that Ferrari has invented a Real Fake Manual and Victoria can't decide if it's good or not but it sure is some shit Baudrillard would have soy-pointed at. As always, our opening theme song is off Stella Spazzatura's Horse Tranquilizer Simulator!Also: The Bangladesh factory collapse was actually two Tenerife airport disasters in terms of fatality count.
