We talk about problems with government– and you’ll be surprised what PCR supports.

PCR describes a US government that is already privatized and run by lobbyists.

We discuss

– how the Fed is responsible for the stock market doing so well–

– Globalization

-Israel, accusations of antisemitism, AIPAC

– The effect of externalities (reminds me of when I had PCR and Noam Chomsky together in a conversation. )

-Identity politics
