    Veterans Benefits, The Economist “Absurd” Claims, & Grown Folks Talk About The Cost Veteran Affairs

    On this Heard Tell host Andrew Donaldson took a few days before responding to an article in The Economist entitled "American veterans now receive absurdly generous benefits" and subtitled "An enormous rise in disability payments may complicate debt-reduction efforts." Andrew talks through the nomenclature that is being misused, like the differences in "100% disabled", the good, bad, and often very indifferent VA system, the culture and technology changes that must be understood, and some of the things that are driving the increase in veteran benefits and claimants that are not being discussed in social media and news media.

    News Media Coverage & Who Is Really Paying Attention To The 2024 Election By The Numbers

    Your Heard Tell Show is turning down the noise of the news cycle and getting to the information we need to discern our times by talking about the numbers about who is paying attention to the election and how. No, not poll numbers regarding the candidates, but new Pew research on who is paying attention to election year news media, how they consume it, and the trends in the last few elections that reveal how news media is changing and the narratives about news media are not keeping up with that change.
