In this episode, James and Antony cover how to bring political discussions back into everyday life without descending into hostility, why nearly half of Americans are now ordering from children’s menus at restaurants, and Donald Trump’s latest attacks on the First Amendment from threats against television networks to talk of banning flag burning. They also dive into the federal government’s purchase of a ten percent stake in Intel, raising questions about cronyism, socialism, and the separation of the economy from the state. The conversation wraps with practical advice on how consumers can push back against corporate government entanglements and ends on a lighter note with the infamous story of Antony’s disastrous experiment with nicotine.
