The Freedom Report - Of Mice and Dems by Liberty.me Studio

Taylor and James take an episode to answer a few listener questions! How do they approach Santa, the Tooth Fairy, and other cultural myths, and why? How should we work with kids who are more introverted in situations where others are uncomfortable with their “shyness?” And finally, what do we do about “bad influences” that our kids can encounter online? James and Taylor talk about how we can have open discussions with our kids about the types of media they are interacting with, and how it might be affecting them.

Blake Boles’ Off-trail learning podcast http://www.offtraillearning.com/

Video repost of episode 72 of the three amigos podcast with special guest Cale Moodie CEO of Neptune Dash.

I was recently on the Expat money show with host Mikkel Thorup. We didn’t initially intend on talking so much about short term rentals but it we did ended up being the main topic of the podcast.

It’s quite relevant that this is what we mainly talked about because that is what I have been very busy with lately. I have been doing more real estate and rental business and haven’t had much time for podcasts, blogs and videos. Luckily I did have some time for this discussion so that everyone can still here from me.

You can listen to it here.

I also wanted to mention a service that I have been using that makes international transfers quick, cheap and easy. If you haven’t heard of TransferWise I would recommend checking it out. You can make transfers from your bank account or debit card to almost any bank in the world at spot rate currency conversion. Depending on the method, the transfer is usually completed in less than 24 hours. If you haven’t used it yet you can use this link to make your first transfer free.

The guys witness the Brett Kavanaugh sexual assault accusation hearings, the distracted boyfriend meme, and New York requiring mental health curriculum in its public schools. Justin also reviews Burning Sands.

The Fed has raised rates to the 2-2.25% range and this is the 8th rate hike since the fed began raising them in 2015. Fed Chairman, Jerome Powell, has given several speeches in the last week and there’s several insights we can gain from Mr. Powell just by reading closely into what he’s saying. Folks, this guy is completely clueless about the next economic crisis brewing out there. We are nearing the end of this super bubble.

If you didn’t think Americans were idiots already, a new survey shows that only 1/3 of Americans can actually pass the citizenship test. As sad as it is, it brings up the question of what citizenship even means. If foreigners know more about America than people who were born here, why do we get to be so lucky?

Isn’t citizenship just welfare for people born in a certain geographic region? If we’d have been born anywhere else, we’d have to actually work to become citizens. Yet, there is no real incentive for Americans to learn more about basic civics and history. Why bother, when getting likes on Instagram and Facebook is so much more enticing?

More and more youngsters are falling into the trap of seeking fame and worship from their peers. This fame will fade, as it always does, and instead, America’s youth will be looking towards a future that is spiraling down instead of moving upward each year. A 13 year old may reach their peak at 13, and then what? What’s left to look forward to?

POLITICAL METHODS VS. NONVIOLENT RESISTANCE

by Francis Tandy

In this episode of Office Hours, Isaac and TK debate the value of debating. Then they jump into answering listeners' questions about how to know when you're ready for something, if self-improvement is overrated, and how to explain yourself to naysayers. This week's questions are: 1. What does it mean to be ready for something? 2. Is it ok if I’m happy with myself and I don’t believe myself needs to be improved? 3. How should college opt-outs explain themselves to the haters and naysayers? Praxis is a twelve-month program that places young people with startups to apprentice, learn, grow, and walk away with valuable career skills.
