The Glories of Public Banking
The boys react to the sweeping midterm election rebuke of the Trump Administration dominating the news over the past week. They compare and contrast the current moment to the remarkably similar 2006 midterm elections in the US. The disillusionment of the ensuing Obama era leads Brian to question the wisdom of becoming emotionally involved in politics. Nate counters by pointing out the importance of daring to hope for a better future. To that end, he proposes the public Bank of North Dakota is a promising model toward which to aim our ship of state. Get full access to System Failure at www.systemfailure.org/subscribe

The Ride Down
With the American midterm elections looming this weeks, a final analysis of Sober October compels the boys to ruminate on the value of ruminating.

Brian suggests carefully curating the contents of the mind, while Nate advocates for embracing the decline. Then, a Dave Smith clip about housing prices sparks discussion about the necessity of a wealth tax. Finally, the boys discuss the ancient conflict between ego and sacrifice that has delivered us to the present moment. Get full access to System Failure at www.systemfailure.org/subscribe

Awaiting the Other Shoe
After a Sober October check-in, your hosts turn their attention to attention itself. Brian details his new strategy for curating the contents of his mind, which means no longer listening to strident voices like Nick Fuentes. Nate takes the other side of the debate, arguing that we’re immensely privileged to live in a time of great historical change—-and that we shouldn’t look that gift horse in the mouth! Finally, the lads breakdown the recent protests consuming France, the national elections in Serbia, and the upcoming Israeli and American elections that will inform the next exciting chapter in our ongoing historical saga.
