On Profiteers vs. the People, we perform an honest critique of prominent profiteers from both history and the present day. We contrast the public personas of these figures with their actions, and attempt to determine their net impact on society as a whole. While we take our research seriously, we hope to deliver our findings with an air of levity, so our listeners can laugh with us, and hopefully learn something along the way.
