(Please note this episode was recorded on 9/12/20, before the death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Also, please forgive the audio issues on this episode). With a clinical psychologist as today's guest host, we discuss the criminal punishment of mental illness and disability and our society's complete failure to meet the needs of the most vulnerable among us. Our leaders choose to arrest, imprison, and forget about mental illness and disability - out of sight, out of mind - leaving the rest of us to pick up the pieces and the tab. 

The clinical psychologist in today's episode, it just so happens, is also our very own show producer, known on this show as "Dr. Peter Pantz." He also explains how socialism would be a great solution to the problems discussed in today's episode. How? You'll see. Or hear, actually.
