Ep 41 Reflections On July 4th, Genocide, Pro-Competition Biden, And Rest In Peace Steve Horwitz

In this week’s star-spangled episode, the guys lead with the tragic recent passing of economist Steve Horwitz, who was an inspirationally kind economist that significantly shaped their thoughts on bleeding heart libertarianism. They then discussed what the 4th of July means to them and the critical dichotomy between countries that once committed genocide in the name of assimilation (Canada, US, etc), and those that are actively engaging in it today (China!!!!). Lastly, they wrapped it all up with their early thoughts on Biden’s Pro-Competition Executive Order and its 72 initiatives. The devil is in the details in the areas where they are most skeptical, but overall, there is a lot that is very promising! 00:48 Rest in Peace Steve Horwitz 17:20 What is the Meaning of the 4th of July? 28:20 Genocide of past and present 45:30 Biden's Pro-Competition Executive Order 1:03:40 Cultural Recommendations (Buy an Oculus Quest 2) And as always, if you enjoyed this conversation and would like to hear others like it, be sure to like, review, and subscribe to us on your favorite podcast app. You can also follow us on Twitter at @NobodyDismal or email us at mailbag@nobodydismal.com - we promise to always respond, whether on-air or off.
