JRE has become one the most popular podcasts out there, if not the most, and so for better or for worse, I think he deserves his own thread here.
I’ll jump straight into one of his last episode from yesterday with Bernie Sanders, the US Democratic candidate 2016 & 2020.
If I’m not mistaken, this is the third US 2020 candidate appearing on the JRE after Tulsi Gabbard (D) and Andrew Yang (D). Bernie’s interview is the shortest of all, barely exceeding one hour, which is a lot more than what they get on MSM/Networks on TV.
Personally, I like what they dig into, healthcare crisis in US and massive corruption by Big Pharma and the Billionaire Boys Club; work precarity and education (free tuition and student-debt pardon); broken/corrupt criminal justice system (cannabis legalization; private prison system), and though it was crumbs, even a tiny alien question at the very end.
Personally, and this is only my two cents, I feel as though Bernie, while a good hearted man is stuck in the Old World of doing things.
His ideas, while being good on the surfaces, some are even commendable, still remain within this boxed paradigm.
Free tuition is a great example, I get the premise and the importance of diplomas to find work, but it doesn’t address the fundamental issue of the worth of college education nowadays.
Non-holistic education might as well be purged, since it is so narrowed down and reductionist, so why bother?
Legalizing cannabis at the Federal level is a good start, but what about other substances? The prohibition paradigm itself is futile and based on the premise that these substances are only burdensome, but could/should be tolerated.
So that’s my criticism of Sanders’ programme. With the situation we’re facing, we need holistic thinkers, collaborative engagement and new paradigms, not just incremental changes on a collapsing house of cards.
Because otherwise, you may as well be a stooge for the Deep State wearing a sheep’s clothing.
Forgive me for my drowsy ramblings on politics.
Still, it gives me hope that major candidates like him can openly discuss about massive corruption in the US.
To make it fair, below are the other candidates episode.
Tulsi Gabbard who delves deep into the military-industrial-complex:
Andrew Yang on his platform that includes a UBI system:
