35. How Internal Divisions Have Plunged the U.S. into the Unity Void (w/Danny Smith)

The With Jay Burke Show

Has the absence of an external threat fueled the hostilities within our country? As we find ourselves trapped in a stress-inducing cycle of binary thinking, Americans have shifted away from seeking unifying values and instead huddle into group identities. The safeguards once offered by old media have vanished, replaced by an alternative reality that caters to our own narratives. In echo chambers, facts are rejected, and politics is oversimplified into one all-encompassing existential conflict.

While we engage in heated debates over culture war issues like abortion and create an LGBTQ boogeyman, the wealth gap continues to widen, and billionaires amass even greater riches.

Join Danny Smith from The Story of...Podcast and myself as we explore pressing questions: Are internal divisions pushing us to the brink of no return? Is this the most fractured period since the civil war? And, more importantly, what lies ahead for my Jersey property taxes when retirement calls? Don't miss this thought-provoking discussion!
