And how many of those farmers voted for Trump, who then appointed Sonny Perdue as Secretary of Agriculture?

lol white people telling us how to "solve" the problems. idk maybe decolonization and white ppl fixing themselves would help....
I wish this were required listening/reading for every prison warden, lawyer, judge and elected official in our country.
Anyone else experiencing poor sound quality for this podcast? I can listen clearly from the website (which is why i know the content is awesome) but can barely listen from any podcast gadget in Android...
What a fantastic series with some wonderful ideas and themes. inspiring stuff.
Just what we need to hear, discern, and act upon. Looking forward to this podcast. Shareworthy.
Ben Franklin said " Any society which is willing to sacrifice a little liberty to gain a little security deserves neither and will lose both ". The man was brilliant, ahead of his time, and still ahead of our time. This report, in my opinion, is a step in his footprints, and I sincerely hope that we're not just able to catch up with him but that we can finally blaze a trail forward that would truly honor his brilliance.
Inspiring story, I am looking forward to hearing more in the future. I have mixed feelings about the qualification of effective with relation to altruism because, as I understand it, altruistic behaviour is a selfless act benefitting another person. Selfless, without regard for one's self, this is what separates an altruist from a philanthropist, a philanthropist only gives that which they afford. Simply put, the altruist would give the shirt off their back because somebody else needs it, the philanthropist would give the shirt off their back because they can afford, or already have, another shirt. It seems to me that a cost/benefit analysis is rather selfish, in that the donation must benefit the giver as much as the receiver, turning a donation into a transaction. I do not believe this to be your intention, rather, I believe you are trying to be more effective as an altruist, as evidenced through your organ donation. Best of luck with this podcast, I'll be listening.
