Yes, that's right. As soon as the Jerry Seinfeld's "Super Terrific Happy Hour " ended the North Koreans warned of a preemptive strike that would reduce the U.S. mainland to ash.It's funny and yet a little scary. Not because the North Koreans could make good on the threat but because they could make a mess of Japan and Guam. ***There are a lot of kids getting out of school these days with no jobs, no marketable skills, and no drive to change their condition. An article from NBC points out that 1 in 4 men 25-34 live at home, are not in school and are not working.That's sad considering 100 years ago a 25-year-old was middle aged and was already employed in a skilled craft. He had to be. America was at the start of its industrial revolution. Most people still worked in skilled crafts like farming, woodworking or saddle making. If they didn't work, they had to rely on the charity of others in the community. A charity that was hard to get if you proved to be lazy or untrustworthy. Now young people lay around waiting for a call back from the one job interview they had this week. What I find saddest is that we did this to our kids. We raised them to expect success to come ease. We told them they were special, that they were unique and that if they just follow the checklist, there would be someone waiting to pay them a small fortune when they finished. Life doesn't work like that. The world can be a cruel, ugly place. Nobody cares how good intentioned you are. They care about results. They care about value, and if you don't add any to the bottom line you can be sure of one thing...You're not going to matter.Support the show.

Yesterday I read a piece on an obscure website that I won't mention because I don't want to give them any SEO help. The article was a justification for why it's immoral to be wealthy. This is an idea that's been around since the dawn of time. What's frustrating is that we know have the economic knowledge that should make these kinds of arguments non-existent. But because of our poor education system and economic illiteracy, I find myself, yet again, explaining why wealth is important. I think you'll enjoy today's episode. JasonSupport the show.

Friday I reported on a Huffington Post article by a South African college student who suggested a denial of voting rights to white men would solve all the worlds problems.It turns out that article was likely written by someone inside the HuffPo to generate outrage AND a whole lot of clicks. It's a modern version of clickbait perpetrated by a news organization considered by most progressives to be "legitimate." While this types of blatant fraud are less common what has become common place is an agenda driven mainstream media where facts are far less important than playing to the hopes, fears, and emotions of the reader. Finding the truth in the 21st century is a struggle. Lucky for us there are still third party sites and rogue journalists who are doing good work but if big media and the government get their way they'll silence anyone without a platform big enough to be considered "legitimate."More discussion on this topic and a great example of crony capitalism today on the Jason Stapleton Program.

In a stunning display of authoritarian reasoning activist Shelley Garland, writing for the Huffington Post is calling for the abolition of voting rights for white males in South Africa.That's right, according to Shelley white men should be prevented from voting for the next 20-30 years, so the world has a chance to reorder itself in a more fair and equitable way. I know you might be thinking this is some extremist pushing an idea that will never get any traction...But I think it's important to not that this is how unacceptable ideas become acceptable. By speaking them out loud, proudly, and chastizing anyone with an opposing view, these kinds of ridiculous ideas move from impossible to horrifyingly real.I would be amiss if I didn't point out that much of the rationale used to defend her argument were the same ones made for denying rights to Jews in Germany.Support the show.
