Episode 0026 - Providing Effective Criticism by Identifying the Correct Problem

For a long time now I have noticed that people with very different world views can criticize a policy, law, or event, but provide very different arguments in doing so. They can see the same problem, but their solutions could lead to very different results. This is interesting because our society is full of these critiques, but the solutions range from non-effective to ridiculous. All problem solving begins with effective problem identification. In this episode, we critique a guest of "Democracy Now" named John Nichols. He wrote a book criticizing the corporate windfall that flowed to companies like Pfizer, and he skewers billionaires for getting rich off the sale of the mRNA vaccine. Is this the right way to look at what happened? Join me and let's find out where Mr. Nichols goes wrong in his analysis.
