from The situation with Jerzee Joe · host Jerzee Joe

In this week's podcast, our quote of the week is from Mark Twain, who tells us what the two most important days of your life are.   In our "Stupidest thing I've heard all week" segment, we have three contenders:   A Proposal to give convicted felons $3,000 of taxpayer money on the day they are released from prison   A City that has classified Social Media as an "Environmental Toxin" and a "Public health hazard," putting it in the same category as asbestos, PCBs, and lead paint.   A protest suggestion would accomplish nothing except leave participants unemployed, homeless, cold, and hungry. You decide the winner.   In our "The road to hell is paved with good intentions" segment, we'll tell you how New Jersey's two-year-old ban on single-use plastic bags has backfired.   We'll tell you why people who claim to support free speech but want hate speech regulated don't understand the concept of free speech.   We'll tell you where a Starbucks employee was fired for doing a good deed and what the good deed that got him fired was.   We'll tell you where some cities charge $1,000 or more to issue people a Concealed weapon carry permit and why that practice will most likely be ruled unconstitutional.   Our taxpayer relief shot comes to us from Houston. Here, a good guy with a gun shoots & kills an armed thug and then disappears before the police arrive.
