038 - Greenland & trade deficits
President Trump has lately declared his intention of putting Greenland under US control, one way or another. His reasons for doing so are varied, but the reasoning behind it is related to his view on the balance of trade between the US and foreign countries. In today's episode Thomas and Joel discuss these only subtly related topics.

Hosts Thomas and Joel summarize contemporary issues by identifying hidden interests, highlighting contradicting narratives, and drawing comparisons between familiar and unfamiliar subjects.
