Should Parents Prepare Children For A Harsh World Instead Of Letting Them Sink Into Safe Spaces?

Should parents be preparing kids for the world we live in with all of its flaws and hurts instead of merely trying to protect them from it so that the children can face and succeed against the harshness of the world? How do we raise children to be capable of going after their dreams in a world full of capitalism, patriarchy and the instant gratification of screens and social media?

What Is To Be Done About Our Billionaire Problem?

Median household wealth is falling, except of course for billionaires who are seeing six thousand percent growth on their wealth. At this level of inequality, a fulltime worker making fifteen dollars an hour would have to work for millions of years in order to get close to what billionaires make. There is nothing inevitable about the rich getting richer nor is there anything inevitable about the poor and working class getting poorer. Something must be done about it. Would a Wealth Tax be the answer to what is to be done about our Billionaire Problem?

Could Public Banking Be The Answer To Questions Occupy Movement Raised
[[w/Phoenix Goodman)

Currently states give billions of dollars to Wall Street to handle their banking and this money is then used to fuel the ever growing divide between the rich and workers. Ending that flow of money to Wall Street will be a must if we hope to change things. Phoenix Goodman, with Public Bank LA is here to promote public banking, state banking and local banking, where the money a bank makes would be used to help its local economy instead of funding the morbidly rich.

Climate Vengeance: A New Approach To Environmental Law
[[w/Guest Professor Mary Wood)

"As climate vengeance strikes communities with greater frequency and horrifying intensity, citizens across the planet now bear witness to the lethal consequences of humanity’s industrialized path. Yet environmental law, society’s major instrument to impart ecological responsibility, does little to bring human actions into compliance with nature’s laws – the laws that really count. In fact, environmental regulation hastens this course of disaster...

"The problem lies not in the statutes themselves but in the frame governing environmental law. As a political frame, it continually bends agencies into serving those parties holding the most political power, which in today’s world often means corporations rather than the general public. In many US agencies, decisions flow from what the politics will allow, not what the statutes say. High-ranking political operatives use their discretion to favor the industries they continue to serve from inside the agency. Staff scientists and permit writers operating within highly charged political cultures suffer varying degrees of pressure to fall in line with the agency’s political agenda. These pressures remain obscured from the public, taking place in procedural fortresses made nearly impenetrable by their sheer complexity."

How Our Immigration Policy Hurts All Workers By Empowering Corporations To Exploit Everyone

Anti-immigration rhetoric is rising as Donald Trump and the Republicans continue to fear monger around the "migrant caravan." The debate on immigration often focuses on jobs, how immigrants will come in, take the jobs, and be payed less, and how this hurts the American worker. Thom Hartmann and Congressman Mark Pocan join forces again to aim our focus at the root of the problem, corporations who break the law, by hiring people who don't have a right to work here, not people who need help.

Are Federal Prisons Really Any Better Than Private Prisons?

Private prisons have come under increased scrutiny after the prisoner strike earlier in the summer of 2018 and then as journalists pointed out the dangers prisoners faced while being in the paths of storms.

Could Universal Healthcare Cure America's Election Fraud?

For years Republicans have fought to make sure that universal healthcare, single payer healthcare models, are all defeated and even went as far as sabotaging the Affordable Care Act, more commonly known as Obama Care. Is there something more to their distaste of accessible healthcare than just being greedy pawns of the morbidly rich?

A look at Canada might give us an answer, where healthcare cards are not just acceptable forms of ID for most activities, but also for voting. Would Republicans find it difficult to crosscheck and purge voters if everyone could vote through healthcare cards or more simply stated, could universal healthcare cure America's election fraud?
