LAL Live Part 1: Deaths of Despair + A Better Speech for Joe Biden (NPS May 19)

Norm opens the show on fire, giving a version of President Joe Biden's speech that should have been if identitarians were not busy dividing the country.  Norm gives his daily book recommendation: Ann Case and Angus Deaton's "Deaths of Despair and the Future of Capitalism" from 2020.  There are more deaths of deaths of despair than there are deaths due to gun violence. Why don't we want to talk about that?  Is it any wonder that those representative of the Despair Class draw an inference that they are being replaced, that their seat at the American table is in jeopardy? The loss of meaning, pride, dignity, self-respect that come along with the death of marriage and community is killing middle America.  Like, share, and subscribe!
