Biased towards government intervention

“I appreciate the information and viewpoints shared in the show, but it makes me sad that their first solution is always to have the government who created our problems fix those same problems…………………………………………….
The hosts are Ivy League, privileged intellectuals who debate philosophy while never talking to people actually affected or promoting community over government (they don’t need community, they have everything they need). They don’t understand the problems real people have while they sit in their ivory tower.
Recently they highlighted how the government props up pharmaceutical companies with intellectual property law. (Insulin specifically)………………… ……………………….Instead of addressing the fact that government is supporting and protecting companies who sell insulin at steep prices through patent laws preventing others from making those drugs affordably, they celebrate giving the government MORE POWER over our healthcare by having the State produce medicine. If the insulin patents were not enforced by our government (or the government shared the patent they plan to use publicly), then anyone could make insulin. Seems much easier than starting an entirely new drug manufacturing department of the government……… ………….More and more people are losing trust with our government and we need MORE options, not a single centralized option as dictated by the political party in power. Putting decisions like these in the hands of government is why we are so divided, and we can’t get past the 2 party polarization until we stop trying to control everyone with our party politics.”

“Love this podcast.
Glad Vox has extended their discussions to podcasts. The self-identified criticism of the first episode was spot on, and the second episode was more in line with what I expected from the promo clip. I thought the segment intros were totally fine — good to get some statistical...”Read full review »

“It's like listening to three of your smartest friends go deep into the topics that really matter. I always want more after it ends.
Also, I want more Producer AC in the coming episodes- his voice is downright sexy.”Read full review »
