Kontrarian Korner #100 - J. Burden

Yesterday I had J. Burden on the podcast for the first time. He’s one of my favorite podcasts to listen to, and he’s always has great guests on. We went back and forth on everything from the economic environment, the lack of jobs and discrimination, and the rapidly changing political environment that we are living in. If you enjoy a good conversation about what younger generations think about the direction of the US, this one’s for you. You can find him on Twitter, as well as on his Substack below.Podcast Summary* The changing economic environment and the weak jobs market for the younger generation (especially white men), and the continued trend towards offshoring jobs.* How inflation has changed the math for car ownership, home ownership, and the cost of living in general.* How the polarization of younger generations is creating an unstable political situation.* Why you should never take the black pill.* The widening gap between young men and women, and other cultural problems.* The administration burning a lot of political capital in the Middle East for our greatest ally. * Why turnout is going to be a problem in the midterms.* How immigration and deportations are the key issues to watch to see where the country is headed over the next decade.* The administration burning a lot of political capital in the Middle East for our greatest ally. * Book Recommendation: Bothelford’s Gone by Edward McLaren.Kontrarian Korner is a reader-supported publication.
