    "In an age of speed, I began to think, nothing could be more invigorating than going slow. In an age of distraction, nothing can feel more luxurious than paying attention." — Pico Iyer How do you feel when you have nothing to do but enjoy your surroundings? Where nothing is urgent, and you can enjoy the moment you are in?  Never felt it? Maybe that's a problem you need to fix. Today's world makes us feel that everything must be done now, yet it doesn't. If you were to slow down, step back from time to time to think, you'd get a lot more important things done and eliminate much of what is unnecessary.  Links: Email Me | Twitter | Facebook | Website | Linkedin Join the Time And Life Mastery Programme here.

A podcast to answer all your questions about productivity, time management, self-development, and goal planning. My name is Carl Pullein, and I am your host of this show.  Slow down. There, I've said it.  If there were one distinguishing characteristic of those who control how they spend their time and when, it would be that they are slow.  Not in a negative way, more in an intentional way. They meet their deadlines, are never late for appointments and have clearly had time to read through the meeting preparation notes.  Even in one of the most stressful occupations, that of being a special forces soldier, they are trained to slow down. The US Navy SEALs have the expression “slow is smooth. Smooth is fast”, and I know from talking with former members of the UK Special Forces that a large part of their training is focused on slowing down and being deliberate with their actions. Of course, the problem here is that when you're faced with twelve urgent Teams messages, you have five missed calls from an important customer, and your next appointment is about to start, the last thing your instincts will tell you to do is to slow down.  Yet it is precisely in those situations that slowing down and being intentional about what you do next is what you do.  Slowing down calms your over-anxious mind, and when your mind is calm, you make better, more rational decisions.  And slowing down is what this week's question is all about. So, to kick us off, let me hand you over to the Mystery Podcast Voice for this week's question.  This week's question comes from Hanna. Hanna asks, Hi Carl, I work in a very busy Pharmaceutical company, and from the moment I step through the door at work, it feels like chaos. My phone never seems to stop ringing, and my Teams feed looks like it's alive. It's always moving! The day's a blur. What can I do to slow things down and regain some control? Hi Hanna. Thank you for your question.  One of the things I've learned is that we do have control over the speed of the day. I know often it feels like we don't, but we do.  The reason is that we always have choices, even when it often feels like we don't. You can choose to answer your phone or let it run to voicemail. You can choose to answer those urgent Teams messages immediately or not, and you can choose to go to the staff rest area and make yourself a nice cup of tea.  Unfortunately, it's natural for us to head straight into the storm of those phone calls and messages. And when we do that, we start conditioning ourselves to do it consistently.  Yet maybe the best thing you can do is pause, make that cup of tea, and strategically plan your approach.  This is often what I call the tactical retreat. Step back, pause, and look at what's currently on your plate and your most important tasks for the day.  However, you will only be able to do that if you can move from being a firefighter to becoming a fire prevention officer.  Firefighters charge straight into every issue with only one intention: putting the fire out. Fire prevention officers: pause, look at the bigger picture, and seek ways to prevent the fires from starting in the first place.  In all companies, you need both types of people. You're not going to prevent every crisis or urgent issue. Yet many can be prevented.  I gave one example in last week's episode.  If you have ten equally urgent messages to reply to, you're going to have to choose which one to respond to first.  If you don't have a process or a strategy for handling that situation, you will panic. Panicking slows you down because the act of panicking creates a lot of activity, yet nothing happens to deal with the messages.  The strategy I suggested was to use the first-in-first-out approach. Deal with the oldest first. This way, even if the last message you received is from your angry boss, at least you won't have to deal with eight angry customers as well.  And let's be honest, if you were to give yourself fifteen minutes to deal with these messages, nobody would be waiting more than fifteen minutes for your response.  There is one trick you can use every day that will help you slow things down. That is to protect the first thirty minutes of the day to get a handle on the day.  Hopefully, you won't have a crisis every day, but those first thirty minutes give you a chance to review your Teams messages, emails, and your plan for the day. You can also speak with your colleagues to see what's happening and deal with anything urgent that popped up at the start of the day.  More often than not, you won't need the full thirty minutes, but you have it protected, and on the days you don't need it, you can make yourself that lovely cup of tea.  Another trick is to give yourself a proper screen break between work sessions.  Now, this will depend on the kind of work you do. If you were a graphic designer, an accountant or a journalist, a lot of your work would be spent sitting in front of a computer screen.  If you were to stop after ninety minutes, get up, and walk somewhere for ten minutes without a screen, that screen break would give you time to stop and think. That thinking might be what element you can add or remove from the design you are creating, or where to place a particular paragraph in the article you are currently writing.  Getting away from your screen allows your brain to relax. It's when your brain is relaxed that you make better, more rational decisions.  Yet, when we are under deadline pressure, stepping away for ten minutes is often the last thing we feel we should do.  When you return, allow yourself 20 minutes to address any messages that may have come in while you were locked away doing focused work.  Sometimes I find it helpful to look at the messages before I take the ten-minute break. That way, I can think about the responses while I'm relaxed.  If you've found yourself reacting without thinking all the time, and from the moment you wake up, it feels like you're go-go-go, that may be a sign you need to retrain your brain to slow down.  The best way to do this is to set aside 30 to 45 minutes each morning. This time must be focused on you. Not your partner or kids. It's time dedicated to yourself.  You could write a journal or develop a slow, deliberate morning coffee ritual. Perhaps you could add some light stretching or go out for a morning walk.  As long as it's focused on you and the things you enjoy doing, you'll find that this morning routine helps to rewire your brain to slow down.  Now for an unusual one.  Avoid unnecessary conveniences.  Part of the Reason we all feel rushed today is the speed at which things can be done. We can order home-delivered food, have our laundry picked up and delivered clean and ironed, order our weekly supermarket shop online, and have it delivered straight to our door later that day or the next.  Convenient, yes. Good for us, no. I recently saw a video about why people in the UK began gaining weight alarmingly from around the late 1970s onwards.  Yes, there was a shift in our diet. In 1979, Marks and Spencer introduced their first ready meal. It was their famous chicken Kiev, and it sparked a revolution in how families cooked.  The M&S chicken Kiev was introduced at around the same time microwave ovens began taking off, and suddenly people were eating ready-made meals.  No more “real” cooking. Boiling vegetables, cooking meat, it was pre-packaged and additive-riddled food that could be cooked in less than ten minutes.  Then there were more and more convenient ways to travel. People stopped walking to the shops. People working in offices would walk the two metres to their car in the morning, drive to their office, park in the underground carpark, and walk the five metres to the lift (elevator) to arrive at their office, having walked no more than ten metres.  Then to spend the rest of the day sitting behind a desk.  All in the name of convenience.  Yet, this convenience is causing us to speed up.  Walking is one of the best ways for us to slow down. It's one reason why studies show owning a dog can reduce stress and improve health. Dogs need walking. For me, walking Louis is one of my favourite times of the day. I get to think without a screen, get some fresh air and relax.  And given that Louis will stop and investigate every tree and lamp post, it's a slow walk.  And the final tip is to plan your day before you finish the day.  In other words, give yourself ten to fifteen minutes before you close out the day to review your appointments for tomorrow, curate your task list for the day based on how much time you have between meetings, and allow for the unknowns—there are some.  Then pick your two must-do tasks, make sure they are highlighted and stop.  You cannot do everything in one day, but doing a little often moves things forward, and soon things you thought would take hours are almost complete.  Yet, in my experience, the most significant cause of our feeling that we have no control over our day or time is the way many people are chained to a screen.  The current statistics indicate that over 7 hours a day are spent in front of a screen (and that does not include TVs).  The problem here is that messages, emails, news alerts and much more are a constant stream. The more time you spend looking at your screen, the more anxiety you feel that you are falling behind with everything. When this happens, you are no longer in control; instead, your devices are controlling you.  Yet if you were to go out for a twenty-minute walk after lunch, or do your own grocery shopping each week, you would find yourself slowing down naturally.  Add that to perhaps reading a real book in the evening and spending 30 to 40 minutes in the morning doing yoga, meditation, or journaling. You'll find that much of the speed anxiety many of you feel will start to disappear.  As for walking into your workplace and getting caught up in the rush of things, take a deep breath, make sure you know what your two most important items of work for that day are, and between sessions of work, get up, move around, make yourself some tea or coffee and think about what one thing you need to do next.  I hope that helps, Hanna. Thank you for your question, and thank you to you too for listening. It just remains for me now to wish you all a very, very productive week.

    Host Doug Stuart welcomes back Katherine Mangu-Ward, Editor-in-Chief at Reason and co-host of the Reason Roundtable, for a candid conversation about what it means to be "the normal person in the room"—especially as a libertarian. Together, they unpack the challenges and rewards of approaching political dialogue with humility, common ground, and empathy rather than combative debate tactics. Katherine Mangu-Ward shares her evolution from zealous young debater to a more seasoned, thoughtful advocate for liberty, reflecting on the importance of reading the room, resisting the urge to "win" arguments, and planting seeds for long-term change.The conversation also dives into common libertarian stereotypes, the pitfalls of contrarianism, and the temptation of conspiracy thinking—especially in a post-COVID world. They discuss the importance of rhetorical strategy, the value of gradual versus radical reform, hypocrisy-detecting instincts, and why demonstrating real-life alternatives to state solutions is both necessary and inspiring. From personal anecdotes to reflections on political polarization, this episode offers practical wisdom for libertarians and anyone interested in effective, principled conversations about freedom.Audio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com Use code LCI50 for 50% off your first order at Podsworth.com to clean up your voice recordings and also support LCI!Full Podsworth Ad Read BEFORE & AFTER processing:https://youtu.be/vbsOEODpQGs  ★ Support this podcast ★

    Have you ever noticed how, in certain seasons of life, several people around you seem to struggle in their relationships all at once? Almost like these things move in waves?Sometimes these couples are good people with good intentions — people who genuinely care, but simply don't have the tools or perspectives to navigate conflict or connection. Those situations are painful, but they're fixable with the right support.And other times… when the situation is not “a rough patch.”It's a bad relationship.There are behaviors that make the relationship feel heavy, tense, or unsafe...And patterns that leave you feeling small, tense, or on edge…And despite the pain, the fear, and the exhaustion — people stay.So the real question is:Why do we stay in relationships that are hurting us? Why do we work so hard to hold onto someone who isn't good for us? Why does being alone feel scarier than staying?In this week's episode of Heal Your Relationships, I break down the three core reasons we stay stuck in toxic or deeply dysfunctional dynamics.These reasons are not about weakness.They're not about failure.They are about psychology, attachment, and emotional survival.And once you understand them, you can finally begin to heal your patterns instead of repeating them.Timestamps:01:35 — A birthday week reflection02:26 — When “good people” struggle in relationships (and why it's fixable)03:20 — When it's more than conflict — it's abuse04:29 — My definition of a toxic relationship05:33 — Why people stay in bad relationships for years06:53 — Reason #1: Anxious attachment11:59 — Reason #2: Trauma bonding15:40 — Reason #3: Fear of abandonment17:57 — How all three lead to low self-esteem19:00 — The stories we tell ourselves to justify staying21:12 — How our programs and events help you heal these patternsTry one change this week:If you're in a relationship that feels painful or stuck, gently ask yourself:“Which of these three patterns am I living out?”Not to shame yourself.Not to force a decision.But to speak the truth to yourself — the first and most essential step in healing.This episode is not about telling you to stay or leave.It's about naming what's real so you can finally choose your next step from clarity instead of fear.If this episode gives you even one moment of recognition or self-compassion, it has done its job.Oh—and if you have something you're navigating and would love my take on it...

    How to Read Blaise Pascal: Grace, Modern Longing, and Wagering with Fire / Graham Tomlin

    “Our longings are much more powerful than our logic, and our desires are stronger than our reason.” (Graham Tomlin on the thought of Blaise Pascal)The Rt. Rev. Dr. Graham Tomlin (St. Mellitus College, the Centre for Cultural Witness) joins Evan Rosa for a sweeping exploration of Blaise Pascal—the 17th-century mathematician, scientist, philosopher, and theologian whose insights into human nature remain strikingly relevant. Tomlin traces Pascal's life of brilliance and illness, his tension between scientific acclaim and radical devotion, and his deep engagement with Descartes, Montaigne, and Augustine. The conversation moves through Pascal's analysis of self-deception, his critique of rationalism and skepticism, the transformative Night of Fire, his compassion for the poor, and the wager's misunderstood meaning. Tomlin presents Pascal as a thinker who speaks directly to our distracted age, revealing a humanity marked by greatness, misery, and a desperate longing only grace can satisfy.Episode Highlights“Our longings are much more powerful than our logic, and our desires are stronger than our reason.”“The greatness and the refuse of the universe—that's what we are. We're the greatest thing and also the worst thing.”“If everybody knew what everybody else said about them, there would not be four friends left in the world.”“Only grace can begin to turn that self-oriented nature around and implant in us a desire for God.”“The reason you cannot believe is not because of your reason; it's because of your passions.”Show NotesGraham Tomlin introduces the Night of Fire and Pascal's meditation on “the greatness of the human soul”Evan Rosa frames Pascal as a figure of mystery, mechanics, faith, and modern technological influence.Tomlin contrasts Pascal with Descartes and Montaigne—rationalism vs. skepticism—locating Pascal between their poles.Pascal's awareness of distraction, competition, and “all men naturally hate each other” surfaces early as a key anthropological insight.Evan notes Nietzsche's striking admiration: “his blood runs through my veins.”Tomlin elaborates on Pascal's lifelong tension between scientific achievement and spiritual devotion.The story of the servant discovering the hidden Night of Fire parchment in Pascal's coat lining is recounted.Tomlin reads the core text: “Joy, joy, joy, tears of joy… Let me never be separated from him.”Pascal's distinction: “God of Abraham, God of Isaac, God of Jacob, not of the philosophers.”Discussion of Jansenism, Augustinian anthropology, and the gravity of human fallenness.Tomlin sets the philosophical context: Pascal as a counter to both rationalist optimism and skeptical relativism.Pascal's core tension—grandeur and misery—is presented as the interpretive key to human nature.Quote emerges: “the greatness and the refuse of the universe—that's what we are.”Tomlin describes Pascal's political skepticism and the idea that politics offers only “rules for a madhouse.”Pascal's diagnosis of self-deception: “If everybody knew what everybody else said about them, there would not be four friends left in the world.”Evan raises questions about social hope; Tomlin answers with Pascal's belief that only grace can break self-love.They explore Pascal's critique of distraction and the famous line: “the sole cause of man's unhappiness is that he does not know how to stay quietly in his room.”Tomlin ties this to contemporary digital distraction—“weapons of mass distraction”.The conversation turns to the wager, reframed not as coercion but exposure: unbelief is driven by passions more than reasons.Closing reflections highlight the apologetic project of the Pensées, Pascal's brilliance, and his ongoing relevance.Helpful Links and ReferencesSpecial thanks to the Center for Christian Witness and Seen and Unseen https://www.seenandunseen.com/Blaise Pascal: The Man Who Made the Modern World, by Graham Tomlin https://www.hachette.co.uk/titles/graham-tomlin/blaise-pascal/9781399807661/Pensées, by Blaise Pascal https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/18269Provincial Letters, by Blaise Pascal https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/2407Why Being Yourself Is a Bad Idea, by Graham Tomlinhttps://www.amazon.com/Why-Being-Yourself-Bad-Idea/dp/0281087097Montaigne's Essays https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/3600Descartes' Meditations on First Philosophy https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/23306Augustine's Confessions https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/3296About Graham TomlinGraham Tomlin is a British theologian, writer, and church leader.

    In this episode, Hunter and Autumn sit down with pastor and author Brad Edwards to talk about his recently released book, The Reason for Church: Why the Body of Christ Still Matters in an Age of Anxiety, Division, and Radical Individualism. In the first half of the book, Brad explains how modern “defeater beliefs” like the sacred self, spiritual pragmatism, and counterfeit institutions have eroded our perception of the church's purpose and beauty. A biblical, historical understanding of the Church as the Body and Bride of Christ can be a powerful force of counter-formation by averting our gaze from ourselves to Christ and reorienting our actions from self-expression to self-sacrifice. This conversation invites listeners to recover a richer vision of what it means to be God's people in the world.Resources mentioned in this episode:The Reason for Church: Why the Body of Christ Still Matters in an Age of Anxiety, Division, and Radical Individualism by Brad EdwardsHabits of the Heart, Multiple Authors

This week, as we open our Advent series “'Tis the Reason,” Bob Baulch reminds us that real joy isn't found in perfect circumstances, it's found in a perfect Savior.

    What is beauty? What is art? The Rev. Dr. Matthew Rosebrock (Pastor, Immanuel Lutheran Church, Lindenwood, IL) joins Andy and Sarah for Episode 7 of our “Prepared with a Reason” series to talk about how the concepts of beauty and art intersect with our contemporary life, the discipline of philosophy that considers beauty and art, some worldly assumptions about beauty and what is beautiful, what happens when we try very hard to call things beautiful that really aren't, whether religion has a place in understanding or finding beauty, what God's Word teaches us about beauty, and how we can respond to worldly assumptions about beauty.

    Hour 1 of https://RushToReason.com launches with John Rush and Dave from Veteran Windows and Doors (https://www.veteranwindowsdoors.com), revealing a surprising winter shake-up in the home-upgrade world: discontinued product lines, looming January price hikes, and why cold snaps suddenly make homeowners notice every draft. Should you upgrade now before the window—literally—closes? From there, John pivots into a fiery cultural critique. Why are manners vanishing? When did America become a place where pajamas pass for travel wear and courtesy is optional? John from Cheyenne jumps in, sharing stories of airline standards and the lost art of dressing with respect. Then the hour turns sharply toward national intrigue as Leslie Corbly (https://lesliecorbly.com/), attorney and author of Progressive Prejudice: Exposing the Devouring Mother, joins the show. John and Leslie delve into the Epstein files, James Comer's investigations, and the Clinton machine—asking the real question: is justice even possible when power runs this deep? Leslie breaks down political immunity, entrenched influence, and why the truth about Epstein may not surface for decades. Hour 1 blends home insights, cultural reality checks, and high-stakes political analysis. HOUR 2 Hour 2 of Rush to Reason opens with John Rush tackling one of the biggest political landmines of 2025: why is inflation worse in blue states—and is the solution as simple as leaving them? John challenges long-held assumptions about Colorado politics, the MAGA label, and the growing clash between affordability and ideology. Why are so many voters misreading the state's political climate? And is the exodus to red states a temporary trend or a permanent warning sign? In the second segment, John and Jerzee Joe break down the real numbers behind inflation. What happens when energy prices triple from one state to another? Why are Americans slipping into cultural sloppiness—from fashion to personal standards—and is it tied to a deeper Marxist drift? Their conversation asks the bold question: Have we become a nation that expects equal treatment no matter the effort? Richard Rush jumps in with a high-energy breakdown of the Broncos' season. Are Denver fans underestimating how hard it is to win in the NFL, especially when you're living in “Stage 3” of franchise building—winning all the close games while your heart rate spikes every Sunday? Hour 2 closes on a high-octane note as Richard Rush delivers a first-look review of the 2025 Lexus LX 700h Overtrail. Is this hybrid luxury off-roader the new benchmark for capability and refinement? Or does its six-figure price tag raise more questions than answers? HOUR 3 Hour 3 of Rush to Reason hits hard from the opening minute as John Rush welcomes Professor Marc Defant (https://www.marcdefant.com), University of South Florida, whose explosive peer-reviewed paper challenges the foundations of modern feminist studies. Why are entire academic departments ignoring evolutionary biology, known health science, and decades of empirical research? And what happens when “body positivity,” gender ideology, and attacks on masculinity collide with actual data? Defant pulls back the curtain on Marxist influence in universities, the disappearance of alpha males, and how students are being shaped by ideology rather than truth. After the interview, John shifts into real-world examples—from airline travel to cultural expectations—to show how entitlement, victimhood, and the loss of traditional masculinity play out in everyday life. Finally, caller Brad joins the conversation for a rapid-fire political rundown: Tennessee's special election, GOP infighting, MAGA identity, Jerome Powell, Senate math, and whether conservatives can learn how to win again. If you've ever wondered who controls the narrative, what happened to common sense, and whether America can course-correct, Hour 3 is a conversation you can't afford to miss.

    Philosopher Stefan Molyneux explores the distinction between philosophical happiness and hedonism, addressing a listener's insightful question. He defines hedonism as the pursuit of immediate pleasures that often lead to long-term costs, contrasting it with happiness rooted in virtue and reason. Using examples from the animal kingdom, he highlights the importance of meaningful relationships in human sexuality for societal cohesion. He discusses the repercussions of hedonistic behaviors and advocate for self-restraint, emphasizing that true, sustainable happiness arises from alignments with reason rather than fleeting desires. Ultimately, Stefan encourages listeners to pursue a fulfilling form of happiness grounded in thoughtful living.SUBSCRIBE TO ME ON X! https://x.com/StefanMolyneuxFollow me on Youtube! https://www.youtube.com/@freedomain1GET MY NEW BOOK 'PEACEFUL PARENTING', THE INTERACTIVE PEACEFUL PARENTING AI, AND THE FULL AUDIOBOOK!https://peacefulparenting.com/Join the PREMIUM philosophy community on the web for free!Subscribers get 12 HOURS on the "Truth About the French Revolution," multiple interactive multi-lingual philosophy AIs trained on thousands of hours of my material - as well as AIs for Real-Time Relationships, Bitcoin, Peaceful Parenting, and Call-In Shows!You also receive private livestreams, HUNDREDS of exclusive premium shows, early release podcasts, the 22 Part History of Philosophers series and much more!See you soon!https://freedomain.locals.com/support/promo/UPB2025

    This encore presentation of Rush to Reason of November 13, 2025, hits the ground running as John Rush welcomes Steve House, former Colorado GOP Chair and longtime health-care executive, for a rapid-fire look at the future of AI, medicine, and education. What happens when artificial intelligence reads your bloodwork better than your doctor? Could peptides disrupt Big Pharma the way streaming crushed cable? And why have drug launch prices jumped from $2,100 in 2008 to over $180,000 today? Steve breaks down the explosion of AI tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Quarrio—platforms that can analyze symptoms, generate medical summaries, explain drug interactions, and even role-play ER physicians or comedians like Bill Burr. If AI can help people avoid unnecessary appointments, reduce anxiety, and make smarter decisions, will unions, bureaucracies, and giant health systems try to block it? John and Steve push further: Could AI slash labor costs, reinvent classrooms, and eliminate menial tasks across entire professions? Will institutions embrace it—or fight it? And are we heading toward a world where advanced expertise becomes accessible to everyone? This hour is provocative, funny, and packed with bold predictions. HOUR 2 This November 20, 2025, encore presentation of https://RushToReason.com launches with a powerful roundtable featuring Dr. Kelly Victory (https://www.rushtoreason.com/dr-kelly-victory-2), trauma and public-health expert, and Steve House, former health-care executive and longtime analyst. Together, they take listeners into a fast-moving, unfiltered look at free speech, medical censorship, and the disturbing global trends shaping public policy. Why did honest medical debate vanish during COVID? Why is the CDC now admitting gaps in vaccine-autism research after years of denial? And how far are today's Malthusian-minded leaders willing to go—climate mandates, 15-minute cities, population control agendas—to gain power over your daily life? The conversation goes deeper as Steve and Dr. Kelly expose a growing crisis of trust: a collapse in confidence in doctors, the media, the legal system, and government. What happens when truth becomes subjective, experts contradict each other, and critical thinking disappears? And what does it cost to stand against the narrative? Packed with raw honesty, firsthand experiences, and piercing questions, this hour asks listeners to decide: will you choose freedom over force… and can America recover before the window closes?

It is somewhat preposterous for an origins of the industrial revolution podcast to feature so much a French diplomat.  That would be true if Talleyrand were merely a French diplomat, rather than a bridge between the old world and the birth of the modern.  A man who nearly embodies the shift from the sacral to the instrumental, a man who reveals the Reason, capital R reason in religion.  Now you could argue that Hobbes was the man who shifted the sacral to the instrumental and Calvin supplanted faith with Reason.  But anything important has to be repeated in human history, it just does.Duff Cooper, Guglielmo Ferrero, Roberto Calasso, Mikaberidze and Zamoyski are the main sources for these Talleyrand episodes.

    Washington just lived through a “Seinfeld shutdown”—a 43-day government closure over… basically nothing. Or was it nothing? This week, Ron Steslow is joined by Peter Suderman (features editor at Reason and host of the Reason Roundtable) to unpack the weirdest shutdown in modern memory and the deeply broken healthcare system underneath it. They dig into why Democrats picked this fight, why they folded even while winning the blame game, and what it says about Obamacare that it now needs emergency subsidies for the emergency subsidies. Then, from World War II wage controls to Hillarycare to the ACA, Peter walks through how America accidentally built three-and-a-half overlapping healthcare systems—and why both parties are in denial about the bill coming due.    In Politicology+ they dive into the battle between the Abundance Agenda and the ascendent socialism on the left Not yet a Politicology+ member?
