    Gender Identity Inclusivity

    To celebrate Pride month, co-hosts Antasia and Jared evaluate the state of inclusion with respect to gender identity in the United States as of late. They examine survey data collected by the Pew Research Center which unveils some encouraging statistics along with other deeply concerning trends. While there is still a long way to go in terms of solving the challenges that come with long-term societal acceptance and LGBTQIA+ resources, the hope is to uncover the human biases along the way which continue to hold us back from respecting each other.

    Military-Industrial Complex

    The relationship between the military, government, and society is complex at best. While each body can function independently in a nation, the three can often achieve great heights when working collaboratively together. Co-hosts Avery and Jared review the statistics and scientific literature examining the phenomenon known as the Military-Industrial Complex. Is it a good thing for society to build off of the nation's military forces or is it eventually too great of a burden for society to carry in the long run?
