Welcome everyone to another regularly scheduled rerun for our rerun today.

We are revisiting what I think is an important underlying issue that needs to be understood

as we continue to debate what to do about existing earned benefit programs such as social security or

the potential of starting a like a universal basic income policy or anything like that.

In short, understanding the frames through which we see low income aid programs and the

impoverished people at whom they're directed.

Now, as for members, they got a new bonus episode in their feed today in which Amanda and I discuss a bit more of our

personal experience with the cultural side of Bhutan during our brief visit after climate ride.

We discuss things such as why do Bhutanese stray dogs seem so content?

What our guide said might happen if someone accidentally spends the prayer wheels the wrong direction and what a monk

fed us when we retract in a cliff face monastery during a torrential rains.

So for access to that and all of our previous and future bonus content episodes and to support the work that goes into this show

which is available for free to everyone.
