About this episode

The episode discusses the impact of wildfire smog on air quality and health, exploring anarcho-capitalist solutions to environmental issues.

The State continues to play the roles of arsonist and firefighter--albeit a poor one--up in Canada to the environmental and respiratory health of those of us to the South. What would anarcho-capitalists do to resolve the problem of air pollution, in this case coming in the form of wildfire smog? Turns out, the great Murray Rothbard penned an essay on just this topic. Privatization and incentive would likely eliminate the conditions by which these destructive conflagrations rage. Oak Park certainly has no shortage of flamers, and one was sent as a reporter to spy in on the Society of Saint Pius X church there. Errors abound from there. An Indian Oak Parker is appreciative that, after an injurious fall, paramedics did not take him to West Suburban Hospital because no one would have been there to give him treatment. www.hoth2ohistory.com @HotH2OHistory @chuckwest20 BUY TRIDENTINE BEER: www.tridentinebrewing.com BUY GARY TRIDENTINE BEER: www.buymeacoffee.com/garyrichied PAX!
