About this episode

Neil Boortz discusses MARTA safety concerns and critiques the concept of 'old privilege'.

Neil Boortz discusses concerns about public safety and perception on Atlanta’s MARTA transit system as the city prepares for World Cup visitors. He then shifts to the concept of “old privilege,” reacting to an academic argument that adults hold unfair power over younger people simply because of their age. Bortz critiques the idea that adult experience, decision-making authority, and rule-setting are forms of oppression, arguing that such theories reflect a disconnect from reality and practical life experience.
