In episode 6 we (Jon and Matt) address a hypothetical counter argument. Frequently, those drawing attention to the problems of American society are met with a response that demands that they also have a solution to these societal ills. We start by dismissing idea that it is incumbent upon person pointing out problems to also have a solution to those problems. However, we do propose some policies that would likely shift our domestic and foreign policies in a far more beneficial direction.
Some issues that we propose solutions for:
The United States and its total disregard for international law and the ICC
Mass Incarceration
Extreme wealth inequality
Unequal access to healthcare
A culture that is disturbingly jingoistic and reverent of militarism while also willingly ignorant or accepting of extreme economic inequality
Mentioned in the podcast:
