Talking America 250 (Part 2). The conversation turns stateside as Ben Harris, an Englishman with a serious soft spot for America but experienced working in the UK Parliament, walks through his viral essay on American exceptionalism: freedom, abundance, and the strange magic of a country built on ideals instead of blood and soil. Andrew and Ben talk grocery store abundance vs. European scarcity, why American diversity actually works when almost nowhere else's does, and why unaccountable government and corruption, not ideology, are the real threats to what makes America work. They close out with some real optimism about the next generation, a few digs at UK politics (RIP Andy Burnham's honeymoon), and a proper 4th of July toast to the great, imperfect, ridiculous, beautiful experiment that is America.
