“I am a regular listener and love the show. I appreciate the intelligent, insightful and honest look at varied topics.
This episode was an exception for me. In contrast to your other shows on capitalism and the patriarchy I felt both in this interview. I am an Indigenous/hispanic woman who has been fortunate to experience enoughness because of my parents, grandparents struggles. I consider myself middle class and very blessed to have enough food, shelter and necessities in life. I am not buying $30 bars of soap. I find it ironic to suggest we encourage our children to be farmers, work with their hands , certainly they would not be buying $30 bars of soap either. Small farmers in Colorado where I live, are leaving farming because they can no longer provide for their families and say they do not want that life for their children. I believe we’ve reached a time that instead of pursuing abundance and luxury we should be focusing on sustainability and how we lift up those we can help. I would spend $10-15 on soap if I knew the same amount was being donated to someone in need of hygiene items.
This episode made me uncomfortable and the benefit of that is I am reminded to share in my purchases and my giving to lift others up.
Thank you for your podcast.”
