This week we cover deficit spending, the burdens of Total Boomer Luxury Communism, and how to renounce the villainization of business. Our guest this week is Jessica Melugin, director of the Competitive Enterprise Institute’s Center for Technology & Innovation. We’ll talk about social media platforms, keeping kids safe online, why we shouldn’t be following Europe’s example, and how to protect our constitutional rights from government encroachment.
