Who Would Build the Roads?

Net Neutrality is a complicated subject and anyone who tells you that they full understand it is probably lying to you. In this episode, we do our best to break down Net Neutrality and explain it, and then we discuss whether or not we believe it is a good thing.

Let's talk about your questions concerning student loans, the minimum wage, "the lesser of two evils," and more! We will probably do full episodes on these topics at some point, but this was a fun conversation regardless.

According to a Harvard professor, Uber can't be fixed, and it's time to shut it down. But why?

Uber proved a lot of the government regulations on taxi services are expensive and unnecessary. Because they bypassed them, they were able to provide cheaper transportation for millions of Americans. For this, the professor argues, they should be shut down.

This episode is dedicated to the millions of people who have died while riding in an Uber. If only Uber had the proper commercial licensing, so many lives could have been saved...

We saw a Huffington Post article floating around called "I Don’t Know How To Explain To You That You Should Care About Other People".

The article assumes there is only one way to help others. We disagree. So, we decided to pick it apart!

We got a little pushback from last week's episode about free speech, so we read through your emails on the topic.

Today we discuss the limits of free speech in light of recent news items, including the Kathy Griffin photo controversy, the Julius Caesar play in Central Park, and the congressional baseball shooting.

At what point is "speech" no longer free?

This week, we read some emails we received in response to last week's episode about the idea of a Universal Basic Income. You can listen to the previous episode here: http://www.buildtheroads.com/episode/8

You can still enjoy this episode ever if you didn't hear last week's show, but it was a fun discussion, so if you have the time, you should check it out!

This week, we discuss the inevitability of a Universal Basic Income once robots steal all of our jobs.

Today, we read your emails in response to our last episode about the alleged immorality of having money. Before it's all said and done, we cover race, slavery, moral responsibility, and more!

You know those articles people share on Facebook, and they just comment "This." ...as if the article indisputably proves whatever the person wants to believe?

This week, we refute an article entitled "It Is Basically Just Immoral to Be Rich" by A.Q. Smith.

If you want to read the article before listening, you can find it here.

We wanted to talk about this article because it represents a mindset that we have found is very prevalent in society these days. We try as best we can to set the record straight!

If you have thoughts, questions, or concerns, about what we have to say, please email us and we will discuss on the next show! http://www.buildtheroads.com/contact
