Wealth Taxes & Quantitative Easing
If executed properly, would a Wealth Tax have created a material benefit to the FED’s egregious Quantitative Easing practices? Since Zero Interest loans have been shown to increase Asset/Stock prices, it seems to me that a Wealth Tax would have drawn out the cycle length while simultaneously decreasing the need for Federal Deficits.
Public vs Private Unions
First let me say thank you for showing me labor organization in a different, more positive light. You have changed my mind. It also helped that 3 of my sons worked for Amazon during the pandemic - I've got stories! I had always associated unions with corruption and authoritarianism. But isn't there a fundamental difference between private unions and public sector unions? I have seen personally how the teachers' unions have prevented many children in my community (100% minority urban) from getting a good education, and how police unions prevent common sense reforms that the police themselves seem to want. Please address this difference. From a California never-Trump somewhat conservative independent who wants universal healthcare but doesn't trust the government to run it....
Personal heroes and villains
Are there any political figures or thinkers that you once disliked but now admire? And on the other hand, are there any individuals that you disappointedly regret having ever listened to? (I used to like Dave Rubin, but after a while I saw the light and became aware of the grift) Thanks for the great show guys!
Not so much a question as a request
Hello Krystal and Saagar! I’m a big fan and subscriber and thankful for you two being there. I don’t feel anyone else strives to be open and inclusive in discussions as you. I’ve been watching the news since the days of Huntley and Brinkley. To say that you two are a breath of fresh air is a huge understatement. That’s why I’m writing. I listened to your interview of Dr Prasad, and while I agree with many things he said, he himself indicated that he goes by data. Conclusions can be only so good as the data is. Many of the issues concerning vaccine safety are obscured because there is no good sources of data in the mainstream. The Dept. of Health and Human Services was originally tasked, in 1990 with the advent of the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Act, to do “periodic regular studies on vaccine safety.” Under a FOIA lawsuit by Robert Kennedy, Jr. it was discovered that in 30 years none had been done. That leaves us with VAERS and the studies conducted by the pharma manufacturers. A very poor situation indeed. This is why I ask for you to interview the much maligned Robert Kennedy, Jr. I have followed his work for years and have been reading his current book, The Real Anthony Fauci, which is one of the most highly referenced books I’ve come across. I’ve looked up, independently, claims he’s made and found them verifiable. In the interest of non-censorship, please contact him. I’m sure he would be happy to appear. I have no personal or professional relationship with him, just my concern over vaccine safety. Thank you for all you do. Keep it coming!! Best regards, Dr. Bruce Shannahoff, D.C. at the West Valley Medical Center 5363 Balboa Blvd., Suite 430 Encino, CA 91316 818-789-3244
