Hello, my friends. Today, I’m talking about The Great Reset. We’ve received messages from listeners who have family members sharing memes about the darkness behind this global effort. I wanted to break down what The Great Reset is -- as much as possible -- and who is discussing it. In this Nightly Nuance, I talk about the World Economic Forum, its founder, Klaus Schwab, and what goes on at Davos when the world’s most powerful people gather there annually. I share my empathy for the people who don’t quite trust this process (I don’t either) and my questions about how we might actually make some profound changes post-Covid. Thanks for being here, as always.

Hello, my friends. Today, I’m offering a personal reflection on what’s happening in the Republican Party and where my politics stand. I tend to ignore Tucker Carlson, Rick Santorum, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and the like. But I’m coming to realize that I’m ignoring them because the current iteration of the GOP makes me feel unsteady. That’s not healthy, so I’m trying to process today. I appreciate you being here with me as I do. -beth

Hello, my friends. Today, I’m talking about why the price of lumber is so high (thanks to Bryn for this idea!). Basically, we have a perfect storm: sky-high demand, reduced supply, a thorny situation with our friends in Canada, and rising demand for US forest products in China, Vietnam, and India.

Here are some articles I relied on in compiling this episode:
