*The views represented by single members of the YAFT Coalition do not represent the entirety of the YAFT Coalition*
This week the crew decides to step back and do a workshop episode on the Green New Deal, a green energy/employment/social investment program championed by left-of-center parties from Seoul to Seattle. The first section is a quick rundown that attempts to fairly and evenly dissect this policy proposal. The second half transitions to criticisms of the policy along with other discussion - at which Johnny has controversial beliefs and chides Chelsey while Jenny nearly suffers a heat stroke.
