Bridging Divides: Listen to Shared Grievances

Re-Air Date: 11–18-25

Unless you were a member in December of 2024, this episode of SOLVED! will be brand new to you! If you were a member back then, THANK YOU and this one is worth a re-listen. We're slowing down production for a little bit to reorganize our production processes, so enjoy this episode from our archives (and B.Y: before YouTube) where Jay!, Amanda, Deon, and Erin discuss:

• Ch. 1 - The political origins of SimCity and how capitalism warps our choices
• Ch. 2 - A new video game offering a very different vision of societal management
• Ch. 3 - Naomi Klein's insights on the Left's missteps responding to the Mirror World
• Ch. 4 - Applying cynicism and skepticism in moderation
