In this episode, Doug and I discuss coming exchange controls, the proper role of government, the historical annexation of Hawaii, and the effectiveness of political parties in the U.S. We take a look at Kamala Harris' economic plans, the implications of Trump's immigration policies, and the burdens of modern governmental regulations on the economy. 

As usual, we emphasize the importance of individual action in a failing political system and caution against unrealistic reliance on political leaders.
