Kontrarian Korner #139 - J. Burden

Yesterday J. Burden returned to the podcast to talk about the problems facing the US and the younger generations, reasons to be optimistic on the future, and the cost of living and why burritos cost $20. We went back and forth on the problems with conservatives and why they haven’t conserved anything, what it would take to get younger Millennials and Zoomers to buy into the system, and where things are headed long term. If you enjoy a good conversation about what younger generations think about the direction of the US and the conversations that are happening on the economy, this one’s for you. You can find him on Twitter, as well as on his Substack below.
