Episode 262, “Decadence”

-Andrew For America talks about American decadence and how our society seems to be declining because of moral decay caused by excessive pleasure-seeking. All the protesting and outrage we see in society today seems very hypocritical given the opportunities and luxuries we enjoy here in America. In this episode, Andrew plays a clip from Mark Matson who claims that research proves that we are not a nation in decline and are actually progressing. Andrew also plays a clip from Alex Tarvana discussing elite control and reads a recent study that claims that 33% of Gen Z ages 18-24 are currently underemployed or unemployed, and as a consequence, there has been an influx of H1B visa applications from companies seeking skilled workers from overseas. Whether you want to be an entrepreneur, or you want to play video games in your mom's basement, America still seems like a pretty good place to live.

-The song selections are the songs, "Hold Tight" by the band Butterbrain, and "Apple Pie" by the band White Trash.
