Summary

Artist Scott LoBaido rejoins the program after a couple of weeks away to discuss his views on the potential secession of Staten Island from New York City. Frustrated by the issues plaguing the city, such as crime and poor management under Democratic rule, LoBaido believes secession could rejuvenate and better manage resources for Staten Island. He also critiques the younger generation for being disconnected from reality and overly dependent on technology, suggesting that a disruption, like a solar flare, might reset societal values. The conversation highlights LoBaido's commitment to his community and the broader trend of regions considering secession in response to local governance failures. Learn more about your ad choices.

We're not saying, like, where those old men, like it off my lawn. But this generation of younger folks, they need, they have never had a taste of reality. And they're all spoiled, you know, all these Brooklynites that are, they're all from capitalism.
