Head-ON With Roxanne Kincaid

The Monopolization of America, by David Leonhardt, published in the New York Times Opinion section on November 25, 2018 is a point of discussion in today's program. While corporations borrow unprecedented amounts of money, it's the general public that will suffer the worse for it. Where's the Commons Get-Out-of-Jail card in all of this? Join us at the Virtual Center and see if together we can come to a viable solution for what ails us in what has been called a "growth economy".

Mississippi faces the judgment of the nation; Terrorist toddlers deserve to be gassed; Put some tear gas on your nachos; National Ruble Association blames Soros (again . . . some more) for migrants; Defeated Republican offers Parthian shot.

Moran Monday, abbreviated edition, thanks to Applachian Power's antiquated, rickety, crumbling, coal-fried early-last-century power grid. Nonetheless: Morans in Mississippi. Morans in Birmingham. Morans in Talibandiana.

John Roberts, evil Republican genius, tries to get Trump not to screw up the grift; Conservative "Reagan judge" tells little mutilated girls "tough luck because States Riiiiiights."

Witches! Lesbians! Lesbian witches! Pedophilic wildfires! HILLARY! Yep, it's gotta be Prayer Meetin' Wednesday live from the Cathedral of Common Sense.

Today's program revisited the philosopher, Plato. Brett Stephens piece, published in the Opinion section of the New York Times on November, 19, 2018 titled, "How Plato Foresaw Facebook's Folly", provides the basis of that discussion. I suppose it never pays to be Cassandra, but given that philosophy plays a very important part in how we see and interact with our world, isn't it strange that education lacks the reasoning skills that would make hindsight a 20/20 option? Studying the classics is never a waste.

We also want to extend our warmest wishes to all of you from our HORN Family. Have happy holidays, stay safe, and know we're here for you..

Fox News hate-talker calls for an end to constitutional governance; Julius Geezer puts Saudis ahead of our country; Cindy Hyde-Smith has a confederacy problem; fascist Gorka inveighs against teh soshulizm.

Everybody rake! Finland! Humor is persona non grata at next #NerdProm. Anti-vaxxers precipitate chickenpox outbreak in the hippest town in North Carolina. Will the #GreenNewDeal leave Appalachia behind . . . again?

Our discussion today focused on Corporate Ethics and what the general public can expect in the way of new jobs in rural America. Amazon chose it's sites where something like broadband is a given. Why isn't all of America capable of having equal share in a growing economy? Because not all states have access to the tools they need in order to compete for a place at the table. Labor is what keeps our country going, but will corporate be able to keep a fluid labor supply to meet the demand?

Friday on the Front Porch, an extraordinary, ordinary roundtable.
