How Flawed Politics Is Ruining California, Education, and Happiness

Libertarian Counterpoint

In this episode of Libertarian Counterpoint, James Just and John Cameron discuss the true cost of flawed political thinking and how it affects various aspects of our society. They examine how California’s declining tobacco tax revenue is threatening the funding of early childhood services, how the state is using an outdated labor board to bypass a referendum on fast food workers’ rights, and how the US education system is failing to equip students with basic skills. They also comment on a case where a professor was ordered to take free speech classes after failing a student for using the term “biological women”, and how the culture of violence has escalated from punching Nazis to punching feminists. Finally, they explore the concept of happiness and how it has changed over time in America. Join us for an insightful and lively conversation on Libertarian Counterpoint, where we challenge the status quo and expose the hidden costs of government intervention.
