Disagreement vs Hate
This episode begins by looking at a highly relevant opinion piece by Liberty Lady, discussing how the government and media deceive the people into thinking they hate each other when they simply disagree. Liberty lady reminds us that we don't actually hate each other, suggesting that instead it is more often than not the result of psychological warfare designed with the purpose of dividing and distracting you and your fellow citizens.

Infrastructure
Also discussed in this episode are some stories relating to local infrastructure, one being the roads impacted by snow. Additionally we discussed our electrical grids planned improvements and financial aspects involved in preparing it for the woke EVpocalypse. PG&E takes center stage on this issue, proposing even further increases on costs to all utilities throughout the state. Justifying the action through the need for replacing existing grid assets and building new assets that conform to state plans set in place by legislation.
