Welcome to your weekly dose of radical curiosity. Each [Monday or whenever it’s released], Civil Discord critiques the critics and tackles the top lines in news and society. Beginning with the premise that the ‘smallest common denominator’ of self-ownership is the greatest single driver of political, social, and cultural change, your intrepid co-hosts and colorful guests break down what individuals, communities, businesses, and finally institutions can do to find their footing, combat totalitarianism, and make their voices heard, wherever they stand on the issues. If you’re ideologically homeless, culturally tribeless, or tired of hearing the same rants about what’s not working, Civil Discord offers provocative counterpoints and fresh perspectives to keep you in the know, arm you with the arguments, and empower you to create the change you crave.

Today, we tackle what Congress won’t: the debt ceiling! We also break down what Congress won’t: the incredible expanding spending bill that Pays For Itself(™) by tracking Venmo accounts of service workers, taxing you to help pay for better tax enforcement, and conducting studies about what else we could tax in the future (like driving!). Then we talk about a wave of workplace walk-offs grounding flights and depleting the service sector. We also analyze the racial scandal that wasn’t, in which a white woman allegedly told a black man to ‘stay in your hood’ during a fight—right after he’d mentioned he was from another area.
