Show Notes:
1. This episode was inspired by On The Media podcast from August 13, 2021. Some landlords actually do remove front doors from hinges and leave the doorway open to the elements, to drive out tenants who resist evictions.

2. I couldn’t find a reliable source for prices of pistols circa 1939. If i got it wrong, it’s not the most ridiculous thing that’s ever happened in Parabellum City.
