  • Be honest about topics or don’t cover them

    Don’t need a podcast trying to tell kids higher prices and sparking global retaliatory tariffs may be ok because we don’t need to buy stuff. What a small world view. The reality is the people who can least afford it will suffer the most. Stop buying groceries isn’t an acceptable conclusion. Be honest or don’t cover topics like this.
