What's ironic about America is that, despite what we purport to believe about freedom and individual rights and all that, this country has a rich history of special interest and religious groups trying to force their agenda down everyone else's throat.

What a braindead hot mess that was. A bunch of talking points straight from tech-bro investment scam presentation. "Wireless freakin' conductive railoads" presented by guy, who doesn't know how gears work(!). As usual, an inch deep, a mile wide stuff hosts don't know anything about.

anyone who says they don't want to use Wikipedia has a lack of critical thinking because one Wikipedia is moderated two there are limitations to what you can edit and three every article has a reference page and so you can go to those sources for your bibliography

took a long time to dramatize something that USA is an expert in. Google medical experimentation and vivisection in america. what happened in blacksites and still happening at Gitmo, all non islamic empires. what happens in thousands of ORs in Europe and Americas in the name of MAID and Deceased donor transplant organ harvesting isnt very different.

sure, they should get to eat reasonable stuff, but shouldn't folks on the outside get to eat the reasonably good stuff, too? sorry, but if prisoners are eating better than the rest of the general public, that's not right either. I can't help but wonder how many were eating on the outside; did it get better by going to prison ? and the argument about their Healthcare... stop. the general population gets crap Healthcare. at best, prisoners should be on the same plane as the general public.

This podcast should be required listening before any registered voter in the US heads to the polls in the November 2024 presidential election. Especially pay attention to the “cult of personality” part because it hits slot on with one of the candidates for president!
