For better or worse, humans will adapt to almost anything. Why do we accept some ideas that clearly do not work? What freedom is, and what it is not. *** Subscribe, rate, and review! And tell a friend, why don’t ya? Follow the show everywhere @EverybodyTrades EverybodyTrades.com

Many say Social Security is NOT socialism because “we paid into it.” How does that logic stand up to scrutiny? Where do the “gains” of the system come from?

Let's answer, "Without government, who would build the roads?" once and for all. In "No Parking Hare", Bugs Bunny shows the proper disdain for eminent domain. Instead of taxpayers (essentially, everybody) being forced to subsidize new products, why not let the wealthy freely be our guinea pigs? *** Subscribe, rate, and review!

While classic journalistic ethics would have newspapermen "speak truth to power", it seems that bromide often does not apply to police and other authorities.

Meanwhile, SOUTH PARK takes that boot, turns it sideways, and sticks it straight up Xi Jinping's candy ass. Can free expression and free trade be separated? I "love China" too, but the people and the government are not the same thing. *** Subscribe, rate, and review! And tell a friend, why don’t ya?

For as much as we trust politicians, they must be better people than the masses, right? In this episode, I explore the nature of political power and natural power via the Stanford Prison Experiment and the classic SIMPSONS episode "Separate Vocations". *** Subscribe, rate, and review!

The mainstream media and history always use Gross Domestic Product (GDP) as their economic metric of choice; what is GDP, and does it actually tell us anything? Plus, did World War 2 really end The Great Depression? And if so, does that mean Thanos (from THE AVENGERS) was right?

No one should ever pay for insurance on a “device”. Why do people have a skewed relationship with risk? Are we ALWAYS “better safe than sorry”?

With all the talk of fires in the Amazon, South Park's "Rainforest Schmainforest" must be consumed again. Who owns the rainforest, and what type of society would better manage "the environment"? Plus, Eric Cartman yelling at poor Costa Rican people to "get a job" is actually a fairly common sentiment; are "hard work" and "rugged individualism" the best way to sell liberty to the masses?

The Framers and Founders of the United States were indeed brilliant in many ways, but like all people, they were imperfect and made mistakes. "Checks and balances" don't work nearly as well as they intended. Plus, let's break down the true insanity of "tacit agreement". *** Subscribe, rate, and review! And tell a friend, why don’t ya?

Depending on your situation, buying a home can be a fine idea. But what happens when “the American dream” becomes a nightmare? Before buying, consider the many expenses involved, including property taxes and insurance. What is the “$1 Per Square Foot Rule”?

Rand Paul was right, and the D.C. media and political establishment should be ashamed of itself.

Americans seem to largely agree that, in criminal trials, the burden of proof should be on the state. Why is that not so in other forms of state aggression? There are plenty of “reasonable doubts” when it comes to government action, and history teaches no clearer lesson. **** Subscribe, rate, and review! And tell a friend, why don’t ya?

Price controls do not work, and this proposal is simply another price control. Our City Council has apparently never heard of "pregaming" or the Nixon-fueled oil-price ceilings of the 1970s.

After putting a bow on the previous "Millennials vs. Boomers" show, I explore the dichotomy of sportsmanship and how it prepares kids for "faking it" at important moments in life.

The SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE gameshow sketch "Millennial Millions" shows, once again, that the nature of government programs is conflict. Also, make no mistake, this episode is not me bashing millennials nor boomers. Instead, let's have a better understanding of what types of societies and laws create not only wealth but social cohesion and peace.
