Vaya con Muñoz – 5.27.22
This week on the show Nathaniel hosts again, and is joined by Matt Szafranski and Dan Torres in discussing the recent school shooting in texas, and our feelings on gun control; how mental health factors into both the epidemic of gun violence, but also in the prevention of it; how universal health care would help prevent a lot of ills, and how different countries than us have been able to make it work; how World War II’s destruction in Europe paved the way for a modern electrical grid, and how that makes our grids older than most of those in Europe; how modern Americans are cynical about infrastructure, and unwilling to spend money to improve or repair it; how the financial institutions in this country are designed to benefit the wealthy, at the expense of the middle class and the poor; the problem with speculative economics, and how that’s hitting us at the pump.
