The "Fun Police" in Los Angeles is back and more awful than ever.  They've ruined Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Labor Day - and now they've set off to ruin Halloween.  We discuss LA County's flip-flop on the fun holiday that so many are looking forward to after months of COVID lockdowns. 

Also on today's episode we examine the opioid epidemic that was terrible before the lockdown . . . and now it's only gotten worse. 

We also bring you a story from Ireland, an update on Sweden's economic progress, and much more!
