EP:67 - CURRENT EVENTS!
Notes de l’épisode
We discuss the possibility of renewed conflict with Iran, reported military preparations, Israel’s close election and coalition challenges, and reports of an American beaten by Israeli settlers. We also examine a fraud case involving a Cash App account opened in someone else’s name, considering the risks of relying on automated evidence, wrongful prosecutions, and pressure to accept plea deals.
We debate the roles of police, government, and private security in public safety, including misconduct and enforcement of drug laws. We also use the history of coal-company towns in West Virginia to discuss property rights, private power, government intervention, and the limits on miners’ ability to leave company-controlled areas.
