Podcasts about america does

Did you know HALF of America DOES always have an extra pair of underwear handy???

At a time when many are loudly declaring that America is no longer important, we need to answer the question; "Why does America Matter?" America DOES matter both here at home and to the rest of the world. We know this but must understand our history and the destination of our current trajectory if we are going to be able to answer this question in a meaningful way. So, "Why does America matter?"

Asian and Buddhist and living in America: Does any of that matter? Those focussed in on practice and not much else regarding Buddhism might proclaim a resounding no. Others, all too aware of the tendency of western practitioners to ignore culture, and Buddhism beyond the meditation cushion might instead bellow forth with a resounding yes! Whatever your take, today's guest Chenxing Han has written a book that fills a gap in our collective understanding, and appreciation of the role of Asians in making, shaping and living western Buddhism. Be the Refuge is not merely another book obsessed with race and social justice, however. Those themes do appear but it is more than another product in the polarised times we live in. Yes, some of the buzz words and concepts are there, but this book is as much a work of poetry as it is a research project designed to illustrate the often sidelined role of Asians in making and shaping Buddhism in the West. If more than two thirds of U.S. Buddhists are actually Asian American, perhaps it's worth becoming more aware of them, right? Be the Refuge is both critique and celebration, countering the erasure of Asian American Buddhists while uplifting their stories and experiences. The Oriental monk, the superstitious immigrant, the banana Buddhist: dissatisfied with these tired tropes, Han asks, Will the real Asian American Buddhists please stand up? Her journey to answer this question led to in-depth interviews with a pan-ethnic, pan-Buddhist group of eighty-nine young adults. Weaving together the voices of these interviewees with scholarship and spiritual inquiry, this book reenvisions Buddhist Asian America as a community of trailblazers, bridge-builders, integrators, and refuge-makers. Encouraging frank conversations about race, representation, and inclusivity among Buddhists of all backgrounds, Be the Refuge embodies the spirit of interconnection that glows at the heart of American Buddhism.

A lie repeated enough feels true. Is the effort to subvert the election a low-trust vs high-trust culture clash? It smells like the CCP - is it? Americans prefer a more direct, "fair and square" approach Debates should be "mano a mano" or "humano a humano", no moderators! Ironic that the CCP is using American money to subvert America Does the US need to become a lower trust society Speaking "truth to power" Gamers are surprisingly "based"

Evidently the official rules were to enter by subscribing to my YouTube channel and commenting on a video. ADDITIONAL entries are done by following on Spotify, Twitter + Re-Tweet, or sharing on Facebook. Sorry about that. announcements will be done during the next livestream. For what it's worth, you can make your YouTube comment how awful I am at doing giveaways.Sources on YouTube Video: https://youtu.be/osZMo7lvp1o

America currently has around $98 trillion in total household wealth. And, according to a study from the National Bureau Of Economic Research, the wealthiest 20 percent of the country owns 90 percent of that wealth. However, is that a bad thing? Bernie Sanders thinks so, of course. He says it's a sign of the injustice of the American economy. But there's nothing wrong with a fraction of people owning most of the wealth. As long as they earned it. And that's the key point right there. No one cares if other people are rich. No one complains when movie stars, athletes, and musicians make millions and millions of dollars. In fact, no one cares that Bernie himself is a millionaire. People are perfectly fine with rich people if they think they earned their wealth. Bernie is right, in a sense. America DOES have a problem of wealthy elites sitting on piles of unearned wealth. The problem is, he's one of them. And he's running on a platform that would just empower them even more. People like Bernie want to convince you that you're screwed without him there to point a gun at someone and tell them to pay for your stuff. Because that's how he makes his living: through lies and extortion in the pursuit of power. The real measure of health in an economy is economic mobility. Are you trapped in your income bracket? Or do you control just how far into that top 20 percent you can go? You won't hear this anywhere else. But you don't need politicians to save you from poverty. If you're reading this, you're already wealthier than the vast majority of humans in all of history. And you have the tools at your disposal RIGHT NOW to teach yourself the skills you need to ensure your freedom. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Intro music by Nick White, producer of The Statist Quo   This episode is brought to you by our sponsors: Blinkist Elysium Health (Code: JASON) Support the show.

Dr. William H. Northam says, "Taking the political structure into account it seems that far more Democrats have a positive view of socialism than of capitalism. If accurate, is this bad news for Democrats, and worse news for the country as a whole? Does this expose Democrats as completely out-of-touch with mainstream America? Does it show that the far left has cemented its grip on the party? What is a socialist? What is the basis for their views?"

On November 14, 2011, the Environmental and Energy Study Institute (EESI) and Northeast-Midwest Senate Coalitionheld a “staff only” briefing addressing the economic impacts of energy efficiency policies and investments. Congress and the Administration want to have effective policies in place that will foster economic development across the country. As part of this important discussion, the future of clean energy funding – through tax incentives and appropriations – as well as other policies that promote energy efficiency are being questioned. This briefing addressed the following questions: How does energy efficiency contribute to economic development in America? Does the federal government have a role in catalyzing energy efficiency across the economic sectors, and if so, what is it? What is the potential for economic gains as a result of energy efficiency policies and investments in the near term, and in laying the groundwork for the future? What kind of economic benefits have resulted from improvements in energy efficiency? How does energy efficiency affect US competitiveness in the global economy?
