  Heather, thank you so much for doing this work in explaining to us worried folks how things may look through the lens of history. Keep up your great work and I will keep an eye out for your new book!

  How about building actual enforceable consequences for criminal and  corrupt actions by lawmakers in place and putting barriers to manipulating the system so this whole horrible nightmare we’re in can’t happen again.  How ‘bout that?

  I'd really love to see you interview and talk to Sal Mercogliano of the what's up with shipping channel. In addition to talking about shipping current events, he teaches Maritime history and I think y'all's conversation would be fascinating.

  One of the biggest problems (of many) that came out of the Trump 1.0 Senate was the nuclear option (simple majority vote) that allowed Trump to pack SCOTUS. It will be almost impossible to go back to being forced to nominate qualified / balanced Justices. Except for a qualified / balanced President.

  Text to speech, or record your words and have someone else transcribe them. I know a number of authors, mostly fiction writers, who use these two methods when they are On A Roll!

  Paying people to vote republican sounds eerily familiar to me.  Didn't Trump do that to get into office?  But he still hasn't paid anyone?  Or was that Elon Musk?  I feel like I remember hearing that.

  Little suggestion: Heather it would be great if you had a politics chat with Belle of the ranch. Her channel is very insightful and informative.

  One question, Miss Richardson. While it&apos;s true that neoliberalism hasn&apos;t worked, why would returning to everything from the 1930&apos;s to the 1970&apos;s work? And by the way, even some liberals like Daniel Patrick Moynihan, Fred Harris, Edith Green and RFK didn&apos;t think everything in the Great Society worked well.<br><br>Can&apos;t America do better than nostalgia for Great Society-nomics or neoliberalism, which by the way, Carter was a neoliberal. He would have deregulated S&amp;L.

  Every time I here the redundant phrase &quot;every single,&quot; I cringe then think of George Carlin and snicker. It&apos;s used by so many, both educated &amp; not very educated every day.
