Perspective with Ryan Bridge: Another fiscal result telling us what we already know

Well, of course you heard it here first last Monday - the surplus has been pushed out again. It's like waiting for Christmas when you're a ten-year-old, the whole month of December feels like an eternity. This lot have now pushed it out three times and changed the definition of surplus. Not only have we moved the goalposts, we've lowered them, too. Next year's deficit is almost $14 billion, that's $1.8 billion worse than they thought it would be in May. We're not back in black till 2030 now, instead of 2029. That's what happens when you borrow a bunch of money you have to pay back and then fail to grow your way out of it. Basically, Grant Robertson went and bought a brand new lambo on the credit card and then when he buggered off, we got Nicola who promised she'd get us some more work to pay for the debt so we wouldn't go broke. But that extra work hasn't quite happened yet - so here we are. The good news is - it is coming, they tell us. More than 3 percent next year. In theory. All going to plan. And Willis is promising to get the surplus by 2029, even if the books don't show that yet. I think it's enough to get them re-elected, providing no surprises from Winston, because people know what the alternative is. And that's more debt. On ghost visits to the doctor for billionaires who don't need it with GPs we don't have. Yes, they could please Hooten and slash spending - I'd be here for it. But this is MMP and they're an unashamedly centrist party that needs to win the centre. And winning the centre means not spooking the horses, which is what massive cuts would achieve. So, another fiscal result we were mostly expecting telling us what we mostly knew was coming. Like the last two polls of the year, the pre-Christmas treat for Luxon and co. is - the growth is coming on stream, finally, in an election year.

Kerre Woodham: The Finance Minister is charting a tough course

We're going to start this morning with the Half Year Economic and Fiscal Update, which was actually the Three-quarter Year Economic and Fiscal Update. It delivered news we all expected, and that is that we're getting there as a country. It's just taking longer than we thought. Treasury's half-year update, published on Tuesday, predicted a return to surplus in 2029/30, a year later than it forecasted in May. Finance Minister Nicola Willis said she'd continue to aim for 2028/29 and said we're on target to return the books to surplus faster than they will in Australia, the UK, Canada, and many other advanced economies, while maintaining a prudent debt position. She's doubled down on what she calls her disciplined plan for returning the books to surplus, and says she's not willing to implement more brutal spending cuts, as the Taxpayers' Union have been advocating for, warning that their prescription would deliver human misery and hurt frontline public services and depress already weak demand in a recovering economy. She points out that the Taxpayer Union proposed, among other things, scrapping all Working for Families tax credits, reducing the average weekly income of the recipients by about $180. She said beneficiaries and low-income families would be at the brunt of any change like that, delivering a level of human misery she was not prepared to tolerate. She said of Labour's criticism, that their approach to spending is reckless and would further delay a return to surplus. She said that the Government had delivered about $11 billion a year in savings during its term. Without this disciplined approach, she says the year's deficit would be $25 billion, and debt would be on track to blow out to 59% of GDP. So, according to Finance Minister Willis, she and her government are on track, and that being castigated by the Taxpayers' Union for being too soft, too wimpy, and being criticized by Labour for being too harsh, means she's charting the right course. It is a fine balance she has to strike. You, me, everybody can see where she can make cuts. The winter energy payment, making it a needs-based payment, making a number of allowances needs-based, the fees free, that sort of thing. There's a lot of low-hanging fruit you could pluck off and save a few cents here and a few cents there. What a lot of households have done over the past few years. But she is bound by her agreements with coalition partners. There are some things she cannot touch. She's working in an MMP environment. There are plenty of things I'm sure she'd love to do, things that Ruth Richardson could do, but even allowing for the human misery factor, there are coalition partners she has to placate, and the Government wants to get re-elected. It is utterly pointless steering the right course, but only for three years. It is utterly pointless saving a few billion here, only for it to be squandered next time round. So what do you suggest she does? I'm sure she gets plenty of reckons from all sorts of people – the most recent and the most high profile was former Finance Minister Ruth Richardson, who really should pipe down. I'm glad that debate's off. That was just farcical. But Ruth Richardson needs to pipe down because she could do things, and did do things, that simply aren't possible for this Finance Minister to do under MMP. And also, it's a lot harder to get elected under MMP and to have a big say in the direction of the government unless you've got a big platform. So anything Nicola Willis does has to be with an eye to being the biggest party to form a government. So, I tend to think she's right, that if you've got the Taxpayers' Union going, you're too soft, you're too wet, you're too pathetic, you've got Labour going, you're too cruel, you're too harsh, you're too brutal, then she's pretty much on the right track.

Quels aliments favorisent les rides ?

Choses à Savoir SANTE

Voici le top 5 des aliments qui accélèrent l'apparition des rides, avec pour chacun le mécanisme biologique précis impliqué.1. Le sucre raffiné (pâtisseries, sodas, bonbons)Le sucre favorise un processus appelé glycation : les molécules de glucose s'attachent aux fibres de collagène et d'élastine, formant des « produits de glycation avancée » (AGEs). Ces AGEs rigidifient les tissus, diminuent l'élasticité cutanée et accélèrent la formation de rides profondes. Plus la glycémie grimpe vite, plus la glycation s'intensifie. Les sucres rapides sont donc les plus délétères.2. Les produits ultra-transformés riches en acides gras trans (viennoiseries industrielles, fritures, snacks)Les acides gras trans provoquent une inflammation chronique de bas grade. Cette inflammation accélère la dégradation du collagène via une suractivation des métalloprotéinases (MMP), enzymes qui « découpent » les fibres structurelles de la peau. Résultat : relâchement cutané, ridules plus marquées et teint terne. Ils augmentent aussi le stress oxydatif, fragilisant davantage les cellules cutanées.3. Les charcuteries et viandes très saléesLe sel en excès crée une rétention d'eau intracellulaire, altère la microcirculation et augmente l'inflammation locale. À long terme, cela déstabilise la barrière cutanée, provoque une déshydratation progressive et rend la peau moins capable de se réparer. Une peau chroniquement déshydratée est mécaniquement plus plissée et moins résistante au photovieillissement.4. L'alcool (vin, spiritueux, cocktails)L'alcool est un puissant déshydratant : il inhibe la vasopressine, conduisant à une perte accrue d'eau. La peau, moins hydratée, perd rapidement son volume et son élasticité. En parallèle, l'alcool augmente la production de radicaux libres dans le foie et la circulation sanguine, accélérant l'oxydation du collagène. Il perturbe aussi l'absorption des vitamines essentielles à la peau, notamment A et B.5. Les aliments à indice glycémique élevé (pain blanc, riz blanc, pommes de terre, céréales industrielles)Même sans sucre ajouté, ces aliments provoquent des pics glycémiques rapides. Ils déclenchent une réponse insulinique forte, augmentant l'inflammation systémique et la production d'AGEs, tout comme les sucres raffinés. En parallèle, ils stimulent la production de sébum, aggravant les micro-inflammations cutanées liées à l'acné, qui fragilisent la peau et favorisent un vieillissement prématuré.ConclusionLe vieillissement cutané n'est pas qu'une affaire de soleil ou de génétique : l'alimentation influence directement la qualité du collagène, l'inflammation et l'hydratation. Les rides apparaissent plus vite dans un contexte de glycémie instable, d'excès de sel, d'acides gras trans ou d'alcool, car ces facteurs dégradent la structure même de la peau. Hébergé par Acast.

New Zealand's first MMP government gets off to a rocky start, beset by boxer-short scandals and lousy poll numbers. Jim Bolger declares “springtime for New Zealand”, but the economic weather won't play ball. He leaves for Europe oblivious to the plans being cooked up by a small, secretive group of MPs called “The Te Puke Bypass Committee”. When Bolger returns from overseas, Doug Graham is there to deliver the news – Jenny Shipley has the numbers; the game is up. Many are relieved, many distraught. Winston Peters is furious. The frost between Peters and Shipley never thaws, and before long an almighty, unprecedented cabinet conflagration ensues.  The final episode of Juggernaut 2: The Story of the Fourth National Government goes beyond the end of that term, to explore questions of legacy – how did this period in our history change New Zealand, for better or worse, and how will Jim Bolger, who died in October 2025 at the age of 90, be remembered?

It took an extraordinary cocktail of events to bring proportional representation to New Zealand – everything from political cock-ups to public screams of resentment. This is the story of a country that decides to tear up its electoral plumbing – and what it does next. As the country chooses MMP, it also puts Jim Bolger back in power, but by the very narrowest of margins. Winston Peters and Jim Anderton thrive, small, splinter parties proliferate, and the old guard scrambles to prepare for the new world. For the first time, voters get those two ticks, and you'll never guess who wins the balance of power and keeps the country hanging on which way he'll go.

Chris Hipkins says coalitions require a balance of compromise and standing by values. The Labour leader says New Zealanders understand the nuances of MMP and the reality that parties can't get everything they want. He says that means parties often can't accomplish as much as they hoped. But Hipkins told Kerre Woodham some things will be bottom lines. Hipkins says an example of that is his commitment not to have a wealth tax, which he intends to hold to. Hipkins isn't laying out his plan for interest deductibility but says he hears landlords' argument for it. National brought back the scheme after Labour removed it in 2021, but its fate is still unclear if Labour makes a comeback in 2026. Hipkins told Woodham the decision will come out next year in Labour's alternative budget. He says he's heard from landlords who couldn't continue renting out properties after Labour's change in 2021.

Well, welcome back Opportunity. I think I have that right. Opportunity is the former "The Opportunities Party". Now it's just "The Opportunity Party". It has a new leader and a new tax policy. They have been looking for a leader for ages and they even advertised. None of this is a good sign. Their biggest problem is the market is full – there is no room for another political party. There was no room 10 years ago and there's even less room now. Now, I don't, but you could argue that as the MMP environment evolves and matures some nuance is sought by a frustrated electorate. A boutique operator if you will. The major parties have faded and the days of National and Labour cracking 40% are gone. The days of a two-party Government might well be gone as well. So as it all fragments, surely there must be room for a small operator wedging its way in between, say, National and Labour as a sort of mid-way, subtle alternative. The trouble is, and I argued this years ago when Gareth Morgan was running the joint, 5% is actually a lot of votes and very few, if any, crack it. Look at ACT's journey – for years they needed a deal in Epsom to work the system and the coattail. There is a reason United vanished. What they should have done is run Morgan in an electorate. Name recognition would have helped, and he may have got the seat, got 2%, and had a party of 2-3 MPs. Being in and staying in is easier than getting there in the first place. Here is their other issue: nuance is not what we do. That's why radicals are gaining support all over the world, from Pauline Hanson in Australia to the minor players who make up Government's in the likes of Holland and Germany. You need to be more left, or right, than centre. Could we also argue that New Zealand First is centrist, given they are the only party that can legitimately claim the ability to deal with either National or Labour? So good on them for keeping the Opportunity dream alive. They're still here after a decade. They're either visionaries whose time is yet to come, or dreamers who can't read the room.

For a group that normally seems to nail ideas and present them well, the New Zealand Initiative this week went off-piste with their "MMP After 30 Years" report. Smaller cabinet - good idea. Get rid of the overhang - good idea! But more MP's? What on Earth are they thinking? The main point they make is that it has provided a fairer, more representative Parliament and I think, even for those of us that didn't vote for MMP, we pretty much would all need to conceed that. The question I would have is, is that what we actually want? The base level argument over representation is, do some of the lesser lights represent a sector of lesser lights in the wider community? If the community has got its collection of halfwits and buffoons, do we want a slice of that in the nation's Parliament because that is a version of representation? I would argue no. I would argue that I'd far rather have a selection of highly qualified, dedicated, hard-working professionals. But if a cross section is what we voted for, then a cross section is what we have received. The great fraud of MMP has been the oft-used line by people like the Green's Rod Donald that the tail would not wag the dog. The tail has most certainly wagged the dog, many times over. If the circumstances are right, and they have been more than once, a very small percentage of the vote can wield an astonishing and destructive amount of power. Then of course if we are marking 30 years, we can also relitigate the issue of knowledge at the time. MMP won not because it was better, or the best, but because MMP had the best run anti-FPP campaign and too many New Zealanders couldn't be bothered educating themselves about the alternatives. So MMP had the biggest headlines and enough people were fed up with Muldoon and Lange and scraps and bulldozing Governments so they threw out the current, in the hope the new was better. We will not change the system again. Those days are gone and I doubt we will ever even tinker with it. But if we do, more MP's will not be top of our wishlist.

In this episode, Oliver Hartwich talks to Nick Clark about his new report reviewing New Zealand's MMP electoral system after 30 years. They examine quirks that have emerged over recent elections — from delayed results that stall coalition talks to by-elections creating extra seats, overhangs expanding Parliament beyond 120 MPs, and outdated election-day restrictions despite most people voting early. Nick outlines practical reforms including filling by-election vacancies from party lists, removing overhang seats, lowering the party-vote threshold to 3.5–4%, keeping coat-tailing to minimise wasted votes, shifting to a 50/50 split between electorate and list seats, and increasing Parliament to 170 MPs to improve accountability and strengthen select-committee work. They conclude by reflecting on the need for cross-party consensus and public confidence in any future electoral reform.

Do we need more MPs? The NZ Initiative thinks we do - saying today that, instead of 120, we should have 170. It says the number of MPs in New Zealand is low compared to other countries with similar populations and we need 50 more to keep them accessible to voters. Another thing it's calling for is a four-year parliamentary term. That's a no-brainer, as far as I'm concerned. But 50 more MPs? No thanks. However, I do think some change is needed because of the size of some of our electorates. Which is essentially why the NZ Initiative is advocating for more MPs. But I think a much better option would be to have less list MPs and more electorate MPs. Because, you think about the size of some electorates - the West Coast is a prime example - I've always thought it's crazy that one electorate MP has to represent and cover such a huge area. The Te Tai Tonga Maori seat is another one. One MP has to cover the whole South Island - as well as Stewart Island, the Chatham Islands, Wellington City and the Hutt Valley. The reason the NZ Initiative is making this call today, is because it's reviewed the last 30 years under the MMP voting system. And its two key points are the parliamentary term and the number of MPs. Senior Fellow Nick Clark says the three-year term is too short for effective long-term policymaking. He says: "By the time a government finds its feet and starts implementing policy, it is already thinking about the next election. A four-year term would give governments time to develop coherent long-term policies." No argument from me there. He also says our parliament - with 120 MPs - is about 30 percent smaller than international benchmarks say it should be. So he says get 50 more. He also thinks we need less cabinet ministers and reckons 15 would be enough. But I reckon he's going to be pushing it uphill to sell his idea of more politicians. I'm not sold. Far from it.

Kerre Woodham: More MPs? I don't think so

I thought I'd start with the idea, the initiative, if you will, coming out of the think tank, the New Zealand Initiative. I love generally the work that they produce because even though you might not agree with the ideas that they put forward, there's generally a good discussion to be had. You hear the pros, you hear the cons, you think, mmm, okay. This one though, I'm not so sure. More MPs. Increasing the number of MPs in our parliament from 120 to 170. Oh, I don't think so. Our parliament may be small compared with other countries with similar populations, but until the New Zealand voting public has a seismic shift in the understanding of civics and civil society, and refocuses itself, if we all have to refocus on responsibilities over rights, then the fewer politicians, the better. Senior fellow at the Initiative, Nick Clark, says though that we need more politicians because the ones we have are stretched too thinly, they're doing too much work, and that means there's a very real risk of poor legislation being drafted.We have difficulty with select committees in terms of the ability for them to properly scrutinise legislation, and that's partly because the MPs that we do have available are so thinly stretched. We have MPs that end up on multiple committees. They can't give a good handle on what's going on, as much as they perhaps should. They get inundated with submissions. It's a good idea, I think, to just spread the load a bit more by having some more MPs. Also, the electorates that we have are very large, both geographically and in population terms, and they're becoming increasingly difficult for MPs to service the rather complex and intense needs of the constituents. So these extra MPs will be electorate MPs, not list ones. Some will be, yep, yep, ... we'd be looking at the 50/50 split. That was Senior Fellow at the New Zealand Initiative Nick Clark talking to Ryan Bridge this morning. So a few more electorate MPs, but also more list MPs. No, thank you. No, thank you very much at all. Maybe if every MP who was being paid by you and me, by the public purse, was pulling their weight, you could argue a case that they're overworked. But while a large number take the job very seriously, there have been many instances of MPs across the house calling out others for laziness, for not understanding the job and not doing it. I think when we have MPs who are accountable to an electorate, there is a far greater sense of ownership. So if you had more electorates, perhaps I could consider the case for it, but certainly, no. No more list MPs. And in another New Zealand Initiative report, Dr James Kierstead says there's a disconnect between politicians and the people they represent, just as there is in many other democracies around the world. And his report, he says in recent years, governments have enacted a number of policies that were clearly opposed by most Kiwis. Three Waters legislation was forced through despite multiple polls consistently showing that a majority of New Zealanders opposed it. Only a year after Three Strikes legislation was repealed, a poll suggested nearly two-thirds of New Zealanders wanted it to stay on the books, and only 16% of them wanted it repealed. Nonetheless, when Labour came in, they did that anyway. And despite polls showing clear majorities of Kiwis supported the actual wording of the Treaty Principles Bill, it failed to progress beyond its second reading. Dr Kierstead says we need more direct input from citizens as the solution. Again, I'd say no, not until we have a better educated voting population. If you're listening to the show, I'm assuming you know a little bit about politics, you know a little bit about how parliament works. Some will have a greater understanding than others, but you have an interest in politics. You understand how legislation is enacted. You understand why we have a parliament. You understand the roles of MPs. But there are so many who don't. They won't look at policies. They'll either vote tribally or they'll vote because somebody looks better than somebody else does. They won't be looking at what policy is going to mean further down the track. They'll just look at how it directly impacts on them, and that's okay if that's their interest. I just don't think that we are intelligent enough to be either represented well, because let's face it, MPs are drawn from us, and we are an imperfect pool of people. And I don't think we know how to keep them accountable. I don't think we know what to expect of them. I don't think we pull them up when they're making grievous errors of judgment when drawing up their list MPs, looking at you, Greens. Somebody said yesterday that the biggest threats to our society are apathy and ignorance, and I would agree. Increasing the pool of MPs by another 50? We're going to have to do a lot better than that before I'd even remotely concede to discussing that one. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

More MPs and longer parliamentary terms have been deemed key to modernising a decades old electoral system. Fresh New Zealand Initiative research found 30 years on from the introduction of MMP, our parliament is in the need of a four year term and 50 more members. That would take the Parliament to 170. Report author and Senior Fellow Nick Clark says MMP has delivered fairer and more representative parliaments. But he says these changes would create better balance between members and the executive. Clark says right now there is a huge number of ministers compared to members, making it harder for MPs to hold those ministers to account.

Modern joint pain isn't just wear and tear—it's a systemic, metabolic disease that starts years before symptoms show. In this episode, you'll learn how inflammation, mitochondria dysfunction, and immune imbalance trigger cartilage loss… and how to reverse it using targeted cytokine modulation, cellular regeneration, and smarter supplements for longevity and human performance. Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey sits down with Kiran Krishnan, a research microbiologist and Chief Scientific Officer at Calroy Health Sciences.

When someone speaks with a deep of understanding of the banking and finance systems, is widely respected, and then expresses a strong but debatable view, about a developing asset class, we think it's important to hear that voice and to challenge and distil its key messages.   So in this episode we welcome back a former guest who appeared on the MMP in March 2023 during the banking storm, during with Silicon Valley Bank and then Credit Suisse. His conclusion was unequivocally that this was no repeat of the 2008 GFC, as has been proven.  In addressing his recent report from Oliver Wyman, titled “private credit is reshaping wealth portfolios”, we wanted to challenge him on several issues, including; Is it that innocuous? Is this a trend which will serve big private asset firms at the expense of individuals? How about bad times and souring loans? Does the loss of liquidity matter? Are we swapping risks from the regulated banking sector to the unregulated world of the giant private market firms?   And so Huw and I face off in a discussion on the risks and opportunities that are the hallmarks of this fast-growing slice of the investing world.  ​​The Money Maze Podcast is kindly sponsored by Schroders, IFM Investors, World Gold Council and LSEG.   Sign up to our Newsletter | Follow us on LinkedIn | Watch on YouTube

I would have thought the timing could not be more awkward. If you broadly accept the current narrative that this Government is working awfully hard to get us out of the massive economic hole left to it by the previous Government, and if you accept that the previous Government was one of the worst in living memory, then just imagine where we would be if that hopeless lot of 2020-2023 had actually been rampaging across the countryside until last year because they had had a four-year term. Surely it's that cold, present, still-throbbing reality that prevents a discussion on a four-year term going much further. A lot of politicians seem to want one, and who can blame them? There is logic to what they argue. In year one you arrive in your office, introduce yourself to everyone, put a few press releases out and start the spade work. In year two you go for broke because year three is written off in campaign mode. As Britain is discovering, five years is an awfully long time and until they changed the law about calling early elections, they got into a nasty habit of calling early elections because five years tended to exhaust them, and various calamities would present themselves with the only exit strategy being a vote. So, if you're following the logic three years isn't enough and five is too long. So four years is goldilocks. Or is it? David Seymour is a fan of four years. He argued that most countries have longer terms and there are very few countries with three years. There are also very few countries that balance their budgets or pay down their debt. That doesn't make it good. What is good is his admission that the gerrymandered shambles he offered up as a twist on an extended term with committees and numbers will never see the light of day. It's taken us 25 years to get our head around MMP. The Seymour version of an extended term has a half-life of eight million years. So, four or not? My gut says it will get to be a thing. Change is coming. But here's a small warning: time isn't the issue. It's quality. Time doesn't bring talent, or skill, or insight, or dedication, professionalism, or success. It just brings time. The rest is what we should be way more concerned about. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Engineered Proteins Show Promise in Stopping Glioblastoma Invasion

Scientists have engineered small, targeted proteins that can penetrate brain cancer cells and prevent them from invading healthy tissue, offering a promising new approach to treating glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), one of the deadliest forms of brain cancer. This strategy was developed by researchers at the University of Nevada, Reno, and published recently in Oncotarget. The Challenge of Treating Glioblastoma Multiforme Glioblastoma is an aggressive and fast-growing brain tumor that infiltrates healthy brain tissue, making complete surgical removal nearly impossible. Standard treatments like chemotherapy and radiation can slow its growth but rarely prevent it from returning. One major reason for this invasiveness is a group of enzymes known as matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), which break down surrounding tissue to allow cancer cells to spread. Among these, MMP-9 plays a particularly important role in driving tumor progression and resisting existing therapies. Attempts to block MMPs using small-molecule drugs have failed in clinical trials due to problems like poor selectivity and harmful side effects. Researchers have been searching for safer, more targeted methods to interfere with these enzymes and limit glioblastoma's spread. The Study: Engineered Proteins to Inhibit Tumor Invasion In the study called “Effect of TIMPs and their minimally engineered variants in blocking invasion and migration of brain cancer cells,” researchers Elham Taheri and Maryam Raeeszadeh-Sarmazdeh investigated tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs), which are natural blockers of MMPs, and their engineered modified versions made to work better. Specifically, the team studied TIMP-1, TIMP-3, along with two engineered molecules, mTC1 and mTC3, in laboratory cell models of GBM.

After hearing news about the latest plot twist in the Mica Francis case, investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell are taking another look into the day Mica allegedly took her own life in a North Carolina swamp and the mysterious “witness” to her very last moments … who turned up dead last week. The story of Johnnie Jacobs — aka the “fisherman” who heard Mica crying until it was stopped by what he said was a single gunshot — raised a lot of red flags over the past year after he admitted taking Mica's purse, leaving the park and then returning with it to hand over to police. From the start, his story was strange and filled with curious inconsistencies, causing followers of Mica's case to question whether he was connected to Mica's husband, Myrtle Beach pastor and accused child rapist and sexual assaulter John-Paul Miller.  On Friday, he died in a two-car crash, leading to the biggest red flag of all … is this evidence that Johnnie Jacobs knew too much? Also on today's episode, Mandy and Liz share updates in the Jane Doe No. 1 case against JP Miller, as well on JP's latest legal loss, after settling with a random woman he sued over nothing. Plus an update on the Christa Bauer case out of Houston, Texas, and her husband (and accused murderer) Lee Gilley's upcoming hearing. Switching gears, Mandy and Liz bring you an important conversation with Karl Stoller, the father of Dallas Stoller, as he shares his frustrations with the justice system's handling of her alleged rapist Bowen Turner and his third parole violation. Karl recounts being silenced at a hearing and expresses his deep concerns about the continued leniency shown to Bowen, a Good Ole Boy with a disturbing pattern of behavior Join us as we shine a "true sunlight" on these troubling cases and the persistent issues plaguing the legal landscape in South Carolina and beyond.
