Please consider supporting our podcast friend Benjamin Jacobs during this difficult time. In this special episode, Thom Daly joins me to rant about the state of education in America, how Republican ideologues ban what they don't understand, how misinformation and scaremongering replaced proper political discourse, and whether he has much hope that it will actually improve.I then discuss Brexit, explaining what it means, the different types of trade arrangements, how this affects Northern Ireland and why it has me so irate as I watch the situation deteriorate. Was Brexit worth it, or just a massive con which was kept vague from the beginning? After listening in, I'm sure you'll see where I stand.Thanksss for listening, and please do support our friend Benjamin Jacobs if you can. Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.
