In this week's episode, we discuss the recent case of a jobless man getting into an altercation with a cook because he doesn't have money to pay for his meal. He was sentenced to 8-10 months imprisonment and also couple strokes of the cane. Does corporal punishment have its place in modern society? How good of a deterrent is it?
Other topics that we discuss are the rise to fame of Congress woman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a video of her dissecting how US campaign finance laws is a "fundamentally broken" system has gone viral online.
