It’s time for Scott’s Thoughts! 2:06 - Let’s go over some of the current events that have at least interested me. First off I wanted to say that I think it’s cool that it seems Americans are on the rebound as US Household wealth has appeared to rise to record highs in the 2nd quarter of 2021. This doesn’t seem to be reported on much, as most of the news focuses on those that unfortunately have not experienced the wealth as much as others. 10:30 - I’ve been organizing my ‘desktop’ on the computer...

Was I right? I wanted to do something special for our 40th episode and I can't think of a better way than to let you all get to know me a little better.

Time for another round of Scott’s Thoughts! I have thoughts about the Afghanistan situation, but we’ll save that for the final topic. 1:24 - Starting off, Fox News reports that the Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine has released a statement changing common known terminology to more gender-inclusive words. Think ‘chest feeding’ instead of ‘breastfeeding.’ Now, as we dive into it we learn that as usual, Fox News is going overboard with their reporting (the Academy was simply stating that they have ...

We start with a follow-up report on the Scarlett Johansson and Disney+ story and dig a little deeper into their contract and WHY Johansson is upset with them.
