We take the wins when we can. And she screenshotted- I'm not even sure where the screenshot comes from, but some news source that she screenshotted- about some news out of Michigan and Last Week the state legislature in the state of Michigan passed a bill focusing on civil rights protections for the Lgbtqia plus community.
Shannon Curtis and Jamie Hill are back with another engaging episode of 'Misfit Stars', where they dive into some pressing issues that are sure to spark your interest. They kick things off by celebrating a significant win for human rights in Michigan, specifically focusing on new protections for the LGBTQIA+ community. It's a refreshing reminder that progress, no matter how small, is worth acknowledging.
Next, they shift gears to discuss why Lina Khan, the head of the Federal Trade Commission, deserves superhero status. Khan's relentless efforts to hold companies accountable for overcharging customers highlight the importance of consumer rights and fair market practices. If you've ever felt frustrated by corporate greed, this segment will resonate deeply. But that's not all. Shannon and Jamie tackle the often-overlooked topic of tipping.
They argue that the social construct of tipping is outdated and unfair to workers, proposing that we rethink how service industry employees are compensated. It's a thought-provoking discussion that challenges conventional wisdom and makes you question long-held beliefs. The episode also delves into the darker side of American politics, examining how certain groups are attempting to undermine faith in the election system.
It's a sobering look at the lengths some will go to seize power, but Shannon and Jamie handle it with their usual blend of seriousness and approachability. Lastly, they explore the profound impact of contemplating mortality. Sitting with the idea of death may seem morbid, but Shannon and Jamie argue that it can be life-affirming and even liberating.
This segment adds a deeply personal touch to an already rich episode, making it a must-listen for anyone interested in life's big questions. With their unique blend of empathy, humor, and insightful commentary, Shannon and Jamie make complex topics accessible and engaging. Tune in to 'Misfit Stars' for a conversation that will leave you both informed and inspired.
