About this listen
The A Collective dives into the chaos of a government shutdown that’s left families anxious, food banks strained, and SNAP benefits on the chopping block—all while a $300 million White House ballroom gets the green light.
From tainted beef imports to TSA chaos and tone-deaf spending, LV, Shannon, and Stacey break down the absurdity of privilege during a national crisis. It’s equal parts real talk, rage, and “did they really say that?”
