LEARNING FROM WAR
We can learn a lot from this invasion. We learn that policy matters. When you intentionally diminish your fossil fuel production and spend all your money on social programs (instead of military/military) defense, you empower some terrible people and are weak to their attacks. I think we learn that prosperity and ease aren't the goals of every people group. We can learn that Americans probably aren't like Ukranians in a very unfortunate way.
POLITICAL HATRED IS HIGH -- WHAT HAPPENED?
In my lifetime, the American political Right has mostly stayed static on policy positions. The American political Left, though, has wildly radicalized. I will prove that. I also think that radicalism is one of the root causes of our caustic social environment.
LISTENER FEEDBACK
I got something wrong on gambling last week, and a listening asks about Hate Crimes bills. In short, I find them unnecessary, inequitable, and make an assumption of government power that we shouldn't assume.
SNL VIDEO ON COVID ATTITUDES
Attitudes are shifting my way on Covid QUICKLY. Many who let the situation drive them insane or coming back to rationality. An SNL video recently demonstrated how uncomfortable that is for them. I'm just going to call it a win -- even if it's an imperfect win.
