With police brutality in the forefront of everyone's mind, the #DefundPolice hashtag has taken over, and while there's some nuance to its meaning, there has actually been a serious discussion around the unthinkable: getting rid of cops altogether and replacing them with something new. And while this is a radical idea, what could it actually look like? What would you, personally, do to keep your society from plunging into chaos without police?

In the second episode of the now-named Live Free and Rant, Chris and Joël talk cover the less-obvious implications of the Coronavirus quarantine: self-employment and homeschooling. We go over how the relatively fringe concept of home education has now essentially become a national mandate, which may inadvertently spell the death of compulsory public education by showing how government schooling actually isn't needed. We also touched on how everyone working from home may shake up the concept of traditional companies and grow remote work, leading to more economic opportunities worldwide. Finally, we hit some of the unlikely benefits and innovations which may come out of what is otherwise a terrible situation.

The riots and violence that have been sweeping certain parts of the US surrounding police brutality incidents are scary, and have made many people feel less safe. But in the long run, could they have the effect of making us MORE safe, not in and of themselves, but by addressing the root causes of our lack of safety?

In this episode of Live Free and Rant we go over the COVID protests around the country that have absolutely dominated the news cycle in some areas. We talk about the ultimately proposed trade-off between safety and liberty, and how sacrificing liberty has in this case resulted in people losing safety as well, at least in the financial domain. We covered how millions are losing their jobs, and that puts their health and safety at risk in a much more real way than the virus in some cases. This was a high-energy and exciting episode, so don't miss it!

In this most recent episode of Live Free and Rant we go deep on cancel culture, and have one of the strongest disagreements of the show when covering several comedians being targeted recently over misconduct allegations. Chris is at his most fired up ever for this one!

With so much crazy stuff going on in the world these days, it's easy to point fingers at the biggest and most likely culprit: government. Sure governments around the world have mandated closures, vaccines, mismanaged economies, and done al sorts of nasty stuff that affects our life in a whole lot of negative ways. But what if I told you that goverment wasn't the real problem? No, the real problem is us, our society and its structure, and what it is about our lives that makes us afraid of government to begin with.

Cancel culture seeks to silence or deplatform anyone outside of a narrow viewpoint. But could it have a silver lining? Could it paradoxically end up helping to further free speech and end the political divisions we experience today?
