The Long Emergency Unfolds - James Howard Kunstler

[Eddie Haskell]

I listen to this podcast on a semi-regular basis. This weeks is not to be missed. James Howard Kunstler is perhaps the most articulate prophet on planet earth. If you want to understand what's happening in America, this is a must listen.

2. "That's a very nice Long Emergency you have there, sir"

3. Good to see they are back to discussing current events

Liked the shows about new urbanism etc. last few months, but JHK is most entertaining as a social critic.

Don't know what it is, maybe it's the writers imagination, but JHK offers up a lot of food for thought regarding our current predicament.

4. Yes, I don't agree with everything JHK says

but I think he's right about where we're headed. I accept that we must cut our budget, but I can't accept SS/Med cuts without much higher taxes on the wealthy and commensurate cuts to our military budget. I'll take that to the streets.
