    Billionaire Space Race

    Soooo we researched and planned this episode before our hot girl summer hiatus, so both Bezos and Branson have already completed their trips! We still thought it was worth discussing because people have MANY opinions on whether these space endeavors are worth the billions that private companies are now putting into them. What do you guys think? We also talk about hot topics and discuss are must watch/ you can pass shows and movies that we've seen lately. Basically we ramble a lot because we've forgotten how to do this, but listen anyway its a good time!

    Rewarding mediocrity.....again. A dialogue on the Varsity Blues scandal

    As two black girls from the suburbs, this particular incident was incredibly interesting. Jess and B both work in underserved communities, B as a high school teacher and Jess works for the local government. Their backgrounds meant that the rampant privilege taking place directly affect those in the community that they work with. Many systems are set up to allow the privileged to prosper, ESPECIALLY in the education system, and it is about time that these types of incidents have come to the light. The disparities in society are only increasing and will continue to do so, unless something is done to promote equality and close the gap between the rich and the impoverished.
