02 - I'm Just Not Enough

07/04/22 • 16 min

No one is writing laws for me.

I'm not rich enough for one party or poor enough for another. I'm not old enough or young enough or sick enough or healthy enough for either major political party to take any interest in my problems.

They'll make sure I can have a gun or an electric car, but my real priorities, like effective and affordable healthcare or the conquest of Belgium are always somehow out of the question.

They will, however, take my tax money.

The dogs and I try to figure out exactly what we're good for on this episode of I'm Not Allowed To Watch The News.

01 - How Does This End?

How does this end?

It's a strange question for the first episode, but hang in there. My story gets better.

The political system of the United States of America in the 21st century is a lot like Thanksgiving Day at my mother's house--dysfunctional, expensive, and makes you a little nauseous.

It will end, but it’s not going to end well.

The dogs and I get into politics and the history of empires, on the first ever episode of I'm Not Allowed To Watch The News.

03 - Sick Of It

Is the American healthcare system scarier than Bigfoot? What is the cash price for an MRI?

Healthcare is tremendously expensive, and America never has figured out a good way to pay for it so that every citizen has access to decent medical care.

The dogs (who are way more scared of Bigfoot) and I dig into the problem, and see if there's a cure on this episode of I'm Not Allowed To Watch The News.
