In this episode, Joe and Scott discuss the crafted, controlled way "The American Dream" has been eliminated.  This dream isn't just "American", as Western society has bought into it.  The root of it all is; of course, "Consumerism"... A term coined by Edward Bernays 100 years ago.  There is adequate resources and technology available to significantly reduce the cost of living for everyone on this planet.  This discussion will focus on who, what, when, where and why of the plan to keep humanity focused on life's struggles while the architects of the plan, build their bunkers for the coming EXTINCTION LEVEL event.
