This is a story about a girl named Lucky...
Well, it's a story about a girl who sang about a girl named Lucky. First, Bec (they/them) gives us the ins and outs of Britney Spears' rise to fame and her eventual conservatorship. After a divorce from Kevin Federline gave her less time with her kids, Britney's mental health was suffering and her horrible father Jamie Spears took the opportunity to become the legal guardian of Britney. And her bank account. Strap in, we get reeeaaaaal into it. #FreeBritney
Next, Adam (he/him) tells us about pharma bro Martin Shkreli. From his beginnings in finance to him infamously raising the prices of life saving medication. We learn all about how he rightfully earned the title of being the most hated man on the internet with the face everyone seems to want to punch.
