Lost Debate - Ep 25 | Chappelle & Affordable Housing, Bitcoin Heist, Dying Democracy, CRT Fight

This week’s media blitz around Dave Chappelle as an anti-affordable housing crusader missed a lot of nuance around the development proposal in Yellow Springs, Ohio. Ravi, Cory, and Rikki dive in. “A new low for global democracy.” We discuss the 2021 Democracy Index and the dire picture it paints for democratic values around the world. We debate the latest front in the CRT fight in schools: curriculum transparency. And finally, we catch up with the eccentric couple accused of conspiring to launder $4.5 billion in stolen Bitcoin.


[1:04] Chappelle

[11:02] Democracy in Decline

Consider This from NPR - Are States Ending Their Mask Mandates Too Soon?

More and more states are loosening their mask mandates as COVID-19 cases fall throughout the country. But the CDC says there isn't enough of a drop with deaths and hospitalizations to warrant this change. This muddled messaging can make it difficult to navigate this current phase of the pandemic.

NPR correspondent Mara Liasson explains that while politics have played a role in public health decision making from the beginning of the pandemic, the divide between Republic and Democratic states is starting to close.

And NPR science correspondent Rob Stein offers guidance on how to make sense of the ever evolving risk factors for daily life.

In participating regions, you'll also hear a local news segment to help you make sense of what's going on in your community.
