This episode was recorded nearly three weeks ago, but Arthur was too busy to edit it. Then, he had Internet problems that prevented us from recording a new episode. So, we decided to go ahead and post this one, anyway, just in case the Internet gods keep us from recording.
We begin this episode with a Special Rant. Actually, Jason’s story is kind of a case study in some of what’s still wrong with the USA’s healthcare system. That leads to a compare/contrast discussion of bill paying in the US and New Zealand. And banking. And bill paying. We’re wide-ranging.
When we turn to politics, we talk about the US’ rightwing religious nutjobs, inspired by the coming out of Jason Collins. We dismiss the far right’s claim of being “oppressed” or “victims”. It ended up being a wide-ranging discussion about the Republican right, which leads on to immigration reform and gun law reform. We mention the Internet several times, too.
