Squatter Hysteria, Youth Political Divide, Dying with Dignity
Ep. 209 w/ Shownotes
As discourse around squatting reaches a tipping point, Stephen Kent returns to the pod to talk with Ravi about whether squatter incidents are growing, or if this is a manufactured phenomenon.
The Economist recently published a comprehensive look at why young women are now more likely to identify as liberal and young men are more likely to identify as conservative. Ravi and Stephen debate the findings and speculate over the reasons behind this gender divide.
Finally, Ravi and Stephen delve into the controversial topic of euthanasia, or medical aid in death. They react to the increasing number of U.S. laws surrounding the practice and how the domestic debate compares to other countries.
