About this episode

The episode discusses the implications of climate policies on personal freedom and privacy, using the concept of 15-minute cities as a focal point.

The Other Side of the Story with Tom Harris and Todd Royal – If, in the name of “saving the climate,” 15-minute cities became the norm and all semblance of privacy and personal freedom was erased from everyday experience, again, except for our rulers who would come to resemble medieval feudal lords ruling over their peasants from well-fortified castles?
