John Boland and Timothy Cordes discuss the pending release of the Jeffrey Epstein documents, acknowledging the evil that Epstein and his facilitators perpetrated.
We ponder if the wealthy operate under different rules and why. We discuss complicity and opportunism both first ignoring Epstein and now scrutinizing the files. We discuss the dangers of moral relativism and wonder about any further fallout from the release.
Tim’s whack-jobs, the Regents of the Universities of Wisconsin pay a quarter million dollars to not have to admit they discriminated based on race.
John’s heroes did something unfathomably hard.
