Charles Barkley said what many of us think, but rarely hear in the mainstream media.  The politicians are dividing us and getting us fighting amongst ourselves so they can stay in power.  We break down Barkley’s video clip from the NCAA Final Four and then go through a list of examples how these two political parties are playing a game on the people.  Plus, I share my vaccination story.

We break down John Oliver’s recent HBO video dismissing the importance of the National Debt.  We discuss good debt vs bad debt, the morality of government debt, and the responsibility vs. irresponsibility of both personal and government debt.  We also get into the book The Richest Man in Babylon and a number of good personal finance lessons.  Finally, we discuss government debt in our local Poway Unified School District.

Dr. Leana Wen says on CNN that govt should withhold our liberties until you get a vaccine.  What happened to our inalienable rights?  We spend a great deal of time discussing housing on Poway Rd. within the context of property rights.  Plus we enjoy some tangents on Social Security and earthquakes.  Then we talk about Padres opening day and good vibes.

Imagine having to show proof of a COVID vaccine in order to do everyday activities like shopping and dining.  We discuss the idea of a Vaccine Passport and how that aligns with our inalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.  Is this just a safe way to open the economy?  Or is this a dystopian sci-fi movie come to life?  Plus, we the Padres 2021 season and hope of breaking the #SanDiegoSportsCurse.

I just got back from a road trip and I am refreshed and energized.  I share some of my stories about my week-long sabbatical through the isolated places of Nevada in my electric vehicle.  Plus, we discuss Equal Pay for Equal Work and then do a deep dive on solving gun violence in the aftermath of the mass shootings in Boulder CO and Atlanta GA.

Children are being detained at the border.  What is Joe Biden to do?  We discuss the current crisis at the US Mexico border, and we get into a broader discussion on immigration including US immigration history and potential solutions.  Plus, it’s St. Patrick’s Day, so we discuss Irish Ancestry and I tell you about my current road trip in the desert.

So much money has been spent on the COVID recovery under both Trump and Biden.  Plus, there is a $2-$4T infrastructure bill in the works.  Now they are talking about tax increases to partly pay for it, but the math still doesn’t add up.  We also discuss Volkswagen’s big push into electric cars.  Finally, we touch on Little Italy, the San Diego State Aztecs men’s basketball team, Drew Brees, EV road trips, a 6-story hotel in Poway and the San Diego Mystery Boom.
