In this episode, we continue with the Green Transition, which is part of the Green New Deal, as per the Green Party. There are other "Green New Deals" but we're looking at the Green Party's version.

We need a Green New Deal, ASAP! But it represents a lot of change. Therefore, people are easily confused, especially when the corporate media is in the business of keeping people confused.

Join me on this episode as we unpack the agenda of the Green New Deal and see how practical and feasible it is, especially if we are willing to stop wasting money on corporate welfare.

Hope you'll listen.
