The Afghanistan Mess, "Chestfeeding," & Free College From Coronavirus - Scott's Thoughts

Time for another round of Scott’s Thoughts! I have thoughts about the Afghanistan situation, but we’ll save that for the final topic.

1:24 - Starting off, Fox News reports that the Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine has released a statement changing common known terminology to more gender-inclusive words. Think ‘chest feeding’ instead of ‘breastfeeding.’ Now, as we dive into it we learn that as usual, Fox News is going overboard with their reporting (the Academy was simply stating that they have new gender-inclusive terminology that CAN be used in the correct situation). That being said, the fact that this is even news really makes me weary of where our money toward medicine is going. Is this really where our dollars need to be spent? Did you even know the Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine existed?

14:29 - THE HBCU’s (Historically Black College) of the nation are erasing student debt. While it IS important to help the minorities of the nation, I find it a tough pill to swallow that ANY college debt is being ‘forgiven’ or erased. It’s even tougher when the decision on who receives these benefits is based on ANYTHING other than the education they received or their contributions to society. No matter who you are, if you are given free money, you’re gonna take it.

Taking it a step further, where is the money coming from? Wait for it…….the Cares Act! The act that is supposed to help us with Coronavirus relief! This is not for hospitals, or science, or businesses that lost money, but for student debt. This is why so many people had problems with the rushed relief bills, there was SO MUCH MORE SPENDING that had nothing to do with the Coronavirus hidden in it! So much has nothing to do with Covid-19!

26:24 - A ton of people have been asking for my opinion on the Afghanistan situation, and it was really hard to sum up in a Facebook post so I wanted that to be the focal point of this podcast. I was in the Army before the war began, and therefore I have a bunch of friends who have first hand experience dealing with the situation.

34:31 - Let’s start by checking out Biden’s interview with ABC News specifically about the withdrawal, and my thoughts on that. I will say that it’s super frustrating but you’ll need to watch to hear my thoughts.

46:25 - We play one more clip from Podcaster Megyn Kelly and I share my thoughts on this as well. Comments are closed on her upload so feel free to comment here :)
