The map says oasis; the aisles say Doritos. This Skeptical Sunday, Jessica Wynn explains why grocery stores failed to fix how low-income neighborhoods eat.Welcome to Skeptical Sunday, a special edition of The Jordan Harbinger Show where Jordan and a guest break down a topic that you may have never thought about, open things up, and debunk common misconceptions. This time around, we're joined by writer and researcher Jessica Wynn!Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1385On This Week's Skeptical Sunday:A 'food desert' is the USDA's label for a low-income neighborhood where hundreds of people live over a mile from a large grocery store — too far, the theory goes, so they eat worse. Build a store and diets improve. Yet billions of dollars later, most residents were already driving past one to shop elsewhere.Distance was never the driver — equalizing access and prices closes just nine to ten percent of the diet gap. The rest is preference, and preference isn't fixed taste; it's learned from culture, marketing, price, and stress. West Harlem got a great supermarket 15 years ago, yet obesity stayed high.The same government building stores to fix diets spends roughly $9 billion a year subsidizing crops like corn and soy — the raw material for syrup, seed oils, and cheap meat. Fresh produce gets under ten percent. No wonder a pint of blueberries costs more than a family-size bag of Blue Takis.The sharper problem isn't the desert but the swamp — neighborhoods saturated with fast food, dollar stores, and junk promotions. Counties with the worst swamp scores saw 77% higher obesity-related cancer deaths. A store can even be a mirage: it's there, but the shelves are mostly Doritos.You can't buy health by proximity, but you can build it through knowledge. Don't abandon the food you love; adjust it. Swap corn oil for olive, tweak a method, make one familiar dish a little healthier. Preference is learned, which means it can be relearned, starting now.Connect with Jordan on Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube.

This week on the Conduit Street Podcast, Kevin Kinnally and Michael Sanderson break down the latest from Maryland's Local Revenue Task Force and the options on the table as it considers how to modernize county and municipal revenue structures. They dig into property tax flexibility, commercial property rates, land value taxation, data centers, municipal tax setoffs, and what greater local flexibility could actually look like.The conversation also takes a closer look at the State's fiscal outlook and what counts as “aid” to local governments, even as nearly all of the recent growth goes to education and retirement costs. Plus, Kevin and Michael preview the Task Force's September 14 public hearing, where counties can weigh in before recommendations take shape ahead of the 2027 legislative session.Previous Conduit Street Coverage: Local Revenue Task Force Sets Public Hearing: Here's How To TestifyPrevious Conduit Street Coverage: Revenue Task Force Weighs Options for Modernizing Local RevenuesPrevious Conduit Street Coverage: Revenue Task Force Convenes: Counties Shoulder 96% of Local Spending, But Revenue Tools Haven't Kept Pace

A missing father can stop a family line very quickly. You may know the mother, where she lived, and what happened to the child later in life, yet still have no record that names the father. There may be no birth certificate. The parents may never have married. The child may appear in early records under the mother's surname and later use another surname. Before deciding that the father's name was never written down, check the county court. For many years, local officials wanted to know who would support a child born to unmarried parents. Counties did not want the cost of caring for the child to fall on public funds if a father could be made responsible. This created a group of records often referred to as bastardy bonds or bastardy records. The words sound harsh today. "Bastard" and "bastardy" were legal terms used in older records. They are not words we would use today to describe a person. You may still need to use them when searching an archive or courthouse catalog because that is how the records were named. These files can be very useful. They may name the mother, the man said to be the father, the people who signed the bond, and sometimes the child. You may also find court orders, statements, warrants, and records of support payments. The important thing is to read the whole case carefully. A man's name in one court paper is evidence, but it is not always proof that he was the biological father...

Tune in as the team discusses: Why affordable rural land remains a “blue ocean” with relatively little competition. How investors can reverse-engineer promising markets by studying where other land investors are actively selling. Why accessible, buildable land with recreational potential can be easier to resell. How large rural subdivisions can create repeatable opportunities for building a scalable land business. Why beginners should focus on mailing, marketing, and sales before overcomplicating their systems. How a strong “why,” grit, and persistence separate long-term investors from those who quit. Why comparing your progress to other investors can create unnecessary frustration. Strategies for negotiating high seller counteroffers using property conditions, comparable purchases, and convenience. How offering sellers a fast, simple transaction can justify buying land at a discount. The basic process of moving from an accepted offer through due diligence, deed recording, and seller payment. TIP OF THE WEEK Mark Podolsky: Build your business around a powerful reason for succeeding and develop the grit to keep showing up when the work feels uncomfortable. Long-term persistence matters more than chasing quick wins.Scott Bossman: Study land-selling websites to see where other investors are successfully selling affordable properties. Reverse-engineering active markets can quickly show you where deals may already be working.Jon Burnett: Look for markets with plenty of repeatable inventory and properties that are accessible, usable, and buildable. A market you can work repeatedly is more valuable than constantly searching for the next county. WANT MORE? Enjoyed this episode?

Counties also need tools to preserve the affordable homes already in their communities.In Episode 7 of The Briefing Room's housing finance series, Dom Butchko and Terry Hickey are joined by Jonathan R. Butler, Director of the Prince George's County Department of Housing & Community Development, to explore preservation as a housing strategy.The conversation looks at where affordable properties are most at risk, how Right of First Refusal (ROFR) can help counties preserve existing units, and how Prince George's County puts that tool into practice.

Text the show! Twenty-nine attorneys general are asking for as much as $200 billion from Meta, and the comparison they desperately want you to make is Big Tobacco.Chad has a problem with that comparison.Tobacco companies concealed studies showing their products caused cancer and publicly said the opposite. Meta faces a fundamentally different accusation: criminals used its platforms, kids became hooked on its products, and the company allegedly failed to do enough about it.But there is one important connection to Big Tobacco — and it's the part almost nobody is talking about.The money.The $206 billion tobacco settlement became a government revenue machine. States borrowed against future payments. Counties spent the proceeds on everything from equipment to a jail-kitchen grease trap. Some of the resulting bonds depended on Americans continuing to smoke — and now they're beginning to fail because Americans quit.So what happens if government gets another $200 billion from Meta?Chad follows the money from the courtroom to the state budget, explains why massive settlements can ultimately protect the very corporate giants they punish, and lays out three questions everyone should ask whenever government announces its next enormous corporate victory.Plus, Common Sense After Hours: Chad answers listener texts about Zuckerberg, parenting, tobacco bonds, and which industry could be next.CHAPTERS00:00 They Want $200 Billion From Meta02:27 How the Legal Case Changed08:18 Why Aren't the Criminals on Trial?13:42 The Question of Parental Responsibility15:41 What Happened After Meta Lost16:27 When Justice Becomes About the Money17:47 The $206 Billion Tobacco Playbook20:13 What the Tobacco Money Actually Bought26:18 When Government Gets a Taste28:35 Why You'll Pay for the Meta Settlement32:08 How Lawsuits Protect the Giants34:48 The Question Nobody Asks36:20 Common Sense After Hours — Your Questions

Episode 5533: Grassroots Take Over One Of The Largest Counties In Pennsylvania

Jonathan Healey, The Blazing World: A New History of Revolutionary England, 1603–1689. During the Personal Rule, Charles expanded the "Ship Money" tax to inland counties, leading to a landmark legal battle over the King's right to declare emergencies without Parliament. Religious tensions peaked as Archbishop William Laud imposed high-church practices, which many saw as a "popish plot." After failing to force a new prayer book on Scotland, Charles was compelled to recall Parliament, which then executed his minister Strafford. The crisis culminated in Charles's failed attempt to arrest five MPs inside the House of Commons, forcing him to flee London to gather an army for the coming Civil War. (4)1650

Send us Fan MailFederal contracting gets most of the attention, but it is not the only government market small businesses should be watching.In this episode of FedBiz'5, we look beyond SAM.gov and explore the state, local, and education market hiding in plain sight. Across counties, cities, school districts, universities, utilities, public authorities, and state agencies, there are thousands of public-sector buyers with real needs and active budgets.But here's the catch: many contractors miss these opportunities before they ever become public bids.Why? Because in SLED, timing matters. The real buying signals may show up in budget documents, board meetings, capital plans, expiring contracts, local projects, or procurement activity long before an RFP appears.This episode breaks down why SLED is not just a backup plan, how small contractors can stop reacting late, and why the companies that win are often the ones seeing the market earlier.Listen now to learn why the next growth lane for your business may be closer than you think.Visit us: FedBizAccess.comStay Connected: Follow Us on FacebookFollow Us on LinkedInNeed help in the government marketplace?

In this Tyler Tech Podcast episode, John Matelski, CIO at the National Association of Counties (NACo), shares a national perspective on how counties are navigating increasing complexity while becoming more strategic in their approach to technology. Recorded live at Tyler Connect 2026 in Las Vegas, the conversation highlights how counties of all sizes are shifting from isolated, reactive efforts to more coordinated, enterprise-wide initiatives. Like many local governments, counties are facing a convergence of pressures, including workforce challenges, cybersecurity risks, and rising expectations for more seamless digital services. Talent shortages, aging workforces, and legacy systems continue to create barriers, while limited resources make prioritization a constant challenge. These dynamics are pushing leaders to be more deliberate about how they plan, invest in, and execute modernization efforts. Throughout the discussion, John emphasizes the value of NACo's national network in helping counties navigate these challenges. By connecting leaders across more than 3,000 counties, NACo enables peer-to-peer learning grounded in real-world experience.

Starting July 1, Minnesota's counties can start a long, and some say overdue, makeover of the technological systems and online databases that keep their services running. The state legislature approved $90 million this year to help sluggish computer systems, some dating back to the 1980s, get a little zippier. Paul Verette is director of the Minnesota Association of County Social Service Administrators. He joined MPR News host Nina Moini to explain how this transformation is going to work and what the modernization means to county workers as well as those who benefit from county programs.

Everything we think we know about women and power in the medieval world is missing a few key details. Like the fact that there were exactly two female sheriffs in medieval England, and that their lives were directly tangled together in the most dramatic way possible. Nicholaa de la Haye held Lincoln Castle through multiple sieges, was appointed Sheriff of Lincolnshire by King John in one of his final acts, and helped turn the tide of a French invasion in 1217, all while in her sixties. A French chronicler called her "a very cunning, bad-hearted and vigorous old woman." She won anyway. Ela of Salisbury inherited one of the greatest titles in England at age nine, used a clause from Magna Carta to refuse remarriage, paid the king to serve as Sheriff of Wiltshire, showed up at the exchequer in person to do the job, and eventually founded Lacock Abbey before becoming its Abbess. Oh, and their husbands knew each other. Ela's husband is literally the man who tried to steal Nicholaa's castle. The history of women doing so-called men's work is not a modern story. It's just a story we haven't been told loudly enough. Katherine Fenkyll episode I linked to at the end: https://youtu.be/QggqaYpPbe4 Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
