I basically go on a 97 minute rant about how everything I've read over the last month has been infuriating. I remind the dear listener that government is not the answer. People don't even really want socialism or communism, they want a welfare state. I use terms like Herd Immunity and ask if you have ever even looked it up or are you just repeating it. The responses; whether in the corporate media, from the President, or people on social media, are all divided along party lines with no room for critical, intelligent thinking.

 

Here's some links to articles and sites I refer to:
