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.

In a one-two policy punch that couldn’t be more perfect for big tobacco, the Biden administration moves to restrict nicotine levels in cigarettes while the FDA pursues a ban on Juul vapes. Next, SCOTUS upholds the right to concealed carry in all 50 states while the Senate passes a bipartisan gun bill that probably wouldn’t have stopped any of our most recent or deadly mass shootings. Finally, the Federal Reserve just might get a brand new mandate—with more to come.
