Today on the show we have Sparky Abraham from Current Affairs to talk about his latest article “The Case For Free College”. How has the market distorted the purpose of education? Is college the best way to improve the economy? Should that even matter?

At the top of the show talking about the Uber/Lyft Strike from this week. How do these “labor disruptors” hearken back to the worst excesses of early colonialism? Is calling people a scab ableist?
