In A Trade War We All Lose

Progressive Voices ·

2025/04/01

In A Trade War We All Lose Karel Cast 25-45 It’s amusing how the rich so nonchalantly talk of trade wars, the economy and life when they are not living it. Elon Musk just spent more trying to get a judge elected in Wisconsin than most of us will ever make in our lifetimes. Trump hasn’t been to a grocery store ever. Think about that. The President has no idea what it’s like to grocery shop. He’s never been in a Target. A Walmart. He’s never checked the prices of fruits and vegetables. He doesn’t

This Weekend Terrified Me Karel Cast 25-44 We all do our chores on our weekend, whenever that may be. Mine is Fri-Sun. One thing I needed to do was go shopping, as I stopped getting hungry root deliveries. Oh my God. I mean, Oh my God. $3.50 pineapples. $1.50 oranges. Two yellow squash for $3. Then it was off to Costco to restock things like flour, sugar, agave syrup and BBQ sauce. $256. And I’m not alone. Steve spent $300 on food this weekend, for just him, for the week. I am now terrified

Shocking Revelation Shows Fascism’s RiseKarel Cast 25-43 While everyone is busy with signal gate, Mike Johnson said the most shocking thing out loud: He plans to have Congress try and get rid of most Federal Courts, because they aren’t ruling in their favor. This is EXACTLY what Hitler did. It’s time to stop acting like the USA hasn’t been taken over by oligarchs and fascists and start doing all we can to remove them. Quickly. Plus, the weekend is ahead.

2025/03/25

How is Ireland’s plan for single-tier, universal health care, known as Sláintecare, funded? Is it sustainable long term? What improvements has the nation’s healthcare system seen so far – and what can America learn from this?

White Lotus Breaks Taboo Karel Cast 25-42 The White Lotus on Max has gone and done it...they not only had a same sex couple in a three way...but the two were brothers. And they went THERE. But, historically, is the subject matter so taboo? It's an uglier fact of humanity, but it is a fact that's been around since the dawn of time. So why does NO ONE talk about it, or dramatize it, if it really happens, a lot? I know. And, do you hate annoying group texts. Well, a reporter got put in to one...a

It’s Not The People We Should Platform, It’s the Ideas Karel Cast 25-41 There’s a petition from Democrats to demand Gavin Newsom stop platforming extreme Right people. And I agree, we don’t need to give these people any more oxygen. But to dismiss their ideas, their arguments, or their issues prematurely, at least some of them, may be just too dismissive. For instance. Vaccines. Are they safe, all of them? No. They are not. And I am living proof. My life has almost been ruined by the Shingrix

Will anyone step in to help the Palestinians? Trump wants to dismantle the US Dept of Education as part of the 2025 agenda he said he had never read. He wants the states to be in charge. Here’s the thing: congress created it, and only congress can dismantle it. Plus, we tried it with the states and

We are Inhuman Karel Cast 25-39 Jasmine Mooney did all the right things. She’s a nice 30-something Canadian working in the USA legally and traveling back and forth for work. Until ICE decided arbitrarily that she wasn’t. Suddenly a two week ordeal of hell was put upon her, and she’s one of the lucky one. Her story should shame a nation and its people. Instead, THIS nation wants more. We are inhuman. With Trump leading the way. If a nation is judged by how it treats its prisoners, then we are

What Good Are Checks and Balances? Karel Cast 25-38 A court has ordered Trump to halt deportations under the wartime act. But he didn’t. It’s not the first time he’s ignored a court order. Congress sits idly by as he decimates the government; programs that they have already approved, authorized and funded. The founders setup three branches of government. The Executive, Legislative and Judicial. The very reason was to make sure no one ran amok. So why is it so broken? The Karel Cast is heard on

A Turning Point - Empathy

Progressive Voices ·

2025/03/18

Elon Musk is a self-described inhabitant of the Autism Disorder Spectrum. One of its hallmarks is difficulty interpreting interpersonal communications. That’s because its victims lack empathy. Empathy is the emotional connection that allows us to put ourselves in another’s shoes. All forms of interpersonal give and take are impacted. For most, this distancing makes life harder. Then there’s Elon Musk. For him, the lack of empathy is a superpower. Let’s dive into the real world effects a lack of

American Masculinity Isn’t Karel Cast 25-38 One of the best shows on streaming right now is Adolescence on Netflix. Emmys for all, just throw them at them. And the topic? Male masculinity and how it can literally be toxic. As in, cause death. That, coupled with a post from the new captain America made me realize, American men get masculinity all wrong, and the Right isn’t helping. Wanna live longer? Better?
