Summary

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.

0:40.3

This episode here is the result of many months of frustration, which myself and Tom have been trying our best to hold down, but I just decided, do you know what, maybe the podcast is the best place to have these discussions

0:55.5

and to engage in rants on topics such as these.

0:59.7

So, with that in mind, here's what we'll be talking about today.

On my side, I'm going to be ranting excessively about Brexit, but I'm also going to be explaining it. So if you're wondering how it was possible

Ireland factored into all this, and if you're wondering how I felt honestly about the decision to do Brexit, then this is the right place to learn about all this.
