Episode 33 - The Subprime Mortgage Crisis Mar 01, 2019

Show notes

This week, I take a break from the current news and look back at the subprime mortgage crisis, which led to the Great Recession. I talk about the things that lead up to the crisis, and how we didn't learn from history and, sadly, might still repeat history in the future.

Episode 32 - I Can't Stay on Task Feb 22, 2019

Show notes

I meant to get to a lot more than I did this week, but I kept going on tangents and spent more time talking about some things than I had expected. This week, I touch on more Amazon stuff (their pullout from NYC and their tax bill), Mueller vs. Trump, and a couple of other tidbits.

Episode 29 - Local Talk Feb 01, 2019

Show notes

This week, I talk about local government. I get into the lawsuit that California Governor Gavin Newsom filed against the City of Huntington Beach. Also, I talk about the 2019 Financial State of the Cities report from Truth in Accounting. How much "truth" is there to their accounting? Listen to find out! (Hint: This week, liberals nor conservatives are safe this week...)

Episode 28 - The End is Near Jan 25, 2019

Show notes

The government shutdown appears to be ending. But is the re-opening only temporary? And is there a better way to deal with immigration? Also, Rep. Ocasio-Cortez predicts that the world will end in 12 years. Do I give "zero" f---s?

Episode 27 - Quick Takes Jan 17, 2019

It's a quick takes episode! This week, I follow up on a couple of points from last week's show, the LAUSD teachers' strike, an update on the shutdown and the peeing contest between Trump and Pelosi, what Trump really meant about Mexico paying for the wall, and the new "controversial" Gillette commercial.

Episode 25 - The "Blue Wave" Cometh Jan 03, 2019

Show notes

In the first episode of 2019, I get into what I think will happen with the government shutdown, why moderate politics is really the prevailing political philosophy but won't take hold, as well as some other news and notes, including a tribute to the late, great "Mean" Gene Okerlund. Happy New Year!
