Newly uncovered records change the narrative about New York City's lauded leaders and their motivations to, yet again, prioritize money over the good of the people who became heroes in the aftermath of tragedy. That tragic afternoon then became months, years, of toxic clean-up efforts, aided by people who went unknown and unnamed for decades. As families of those who were lost speak out against political indifference and societal bigotry, I remain in awe of their strength and resilience.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>With midterms coming up, we also see desperate moves by desperate men who once again squandered their opportunity to improve the country in favor of personal gain. Their choices resulted in the loss of relationships with most of our allies, like Canada. This pod aims to explain what led to that particular loss, and how it will affect our daily lives. Also, a shameless gas grift, why real estate developers aren't peace negotiators, the latest efforts to turn Washington D.C. into a shrine for idiocy, and why bribes for voting a specific way is both unconstitutional and not feasible.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Check your voter registration, find your polling location, or contact your representatives via USA.GOV, VOTE.GOV, and/or the \"5 Calls\" app.</strong></p><p><br></p><p>All opinions are personal and not representative of any outside company, person, or agenda.
