Episode Synopsis
We do deep dives into three topics in this episode. First up, the proposed Kroger Albertsons supermarket chain merger would leave us with fewer local options. We debate what that does to the economy and if it's the role of government to step in. Next, we review a survey done on Christian 'cornerstone beliefs' of American children and how many are rejecting the core tenets of the religion. Finally, we discuss the rise in single-parent households, the factors that lead to it, and the effects it's having on society. All that and we catch up on our lives and recent travels.
