American Idiot

Have you ever thought about how many acres of solar panels you would need to power 2.8 million cars in the state of Washington? We crunch some numbers to get a ball park idea of this and other ridiculous things that would be needed to reach progressive green energy goals. We pick apart the current debate behind capping insulin prices. Some of the idiocy behind "Don't Say Disney" is also examined under our microscopes. We wrap it up with another jab at correcting the tax system in the United States as well. All these things and most other issues can be sorted out by people who decide to make it their jihad if they only took 5-10 minutes to actually read the material that has upset them so, but maybe they just like being American Idiots...
