Outstanding show!!!

[@GreggTheEgg]

Excellent show! If only I could get more of my fb friends to tune in.

They're only interested if you talk about something trivial. Tell fart jokes ... they'll applaud that.

[@Johnconno]

They wouldn't be your 'friends' anymore.🏌🚽

[@ryanbusch4015]

very interesting examples of the psychological effects. great show.

[@tibzig1]

Very true. Folks who are socially well connected are the healthiest mentally.

Measure 97 FAILED, here in Portland... It would have been a good start!

My worry is that we will come to a day when we cannot get any funds from the Banks because they don't have it. They spent it speculating and have lost. When they don't have the money, we will be in trouble. How are people to cope and live, especially when they get old and weak and sick.

Great episode as always and very insightful but I did find that FEMA commercial halfway through to be quite troubling. What are we supposed to be getting prepared for? If anything it only raises more questions

All the macro economics robberies that are becoming more and more visible are having a direct impact on my micro wallet. Perhaps I should get rid of my wallet and get out my hat so I can beg, "brother can you give me a dime".

I rebel at the term "team" because all I see of the teams of the world for little children through multi billionaire professional sports "teams" of freak individuals who are taller, more muscular, etc are meaningless to me. I don't worship "jocks". I don't give any money intentionally to the "jock" culture. I would never purchase a sweatshirt or hat of a "sports" team. We need a new term and your term of cooperative life is a start. Co-ops have been part of our culture, including the "hippies" of the 40's and 50's.

I am sorry but she neglected the important of self awarness...in short one's relationship to oneself...one's thoughts, feelings, direction...and this is only possible with some solitude . I'm not speaking of more individualism....just one knowing one's self, what one feels and believes...what one needs....Relationships and connections are important but she only speaks of social and familial connections. Social and family connectiness without a solid sense of sense and relationship to sense...only leads to a kind of herd mentality and group think...
