ATTENTION WRITER NATION: Let me tell you a story. Years ago, I made a promise to myself to never be an uninformed citizen ever again. I was so disgusted with how little I knew about the world, and I was tired of ratings-driven media telling me how to feel about something before giving me a chance to digest it myself. I studied every article from The Economist, Harper's, read through federal legislation, analyzed data from commodity trends to the Consumer Price Index and yet....I still know next to nothing. What I do know is that I am more than capable of fostering an informed discussion on these complex and ambiguous topics. So that's what we will begin doing here. I've partnered with a team of journalists, analysts, politicians and more to dig into some of the most topical issues facing us today. Most discussion videos will not have a comment section because WE ARE ABOVE VITRIOLIC DISCOURSE. No catch phrases. No simple, patronizing answers. No left. No right. Unity. We are one nation, despite our worst impulses. As creative souls always do, we aspire to learn more in a safe, thought-provoking environment. Let's get these questions answered and let's get ready to learn!
