The federal government has been adamant for decades about the need to improve schools so that every child receives a proper education. The pandemic and subsequent school lockdowns reinforced the urgency of this issue, with a recent study from Populace reporting that 71% of Americans believe more things about the educational system should change than stay the same. Ravi talks with Rick Hess, Senior Fellow and Director of Education Policy Studies at the American Enterprise Institute, about the history of education reform and the decades of bipartisan collaboration that began with Ronald Reagan and ended with Barack Obama. They discuss what this era accomplished, what it didn’t, and how we can advance our education system in an era of increasing polarization.

Ravi sits down with Populace CEO Todd Rose to discuss two data sets we’ve been covering on the Lost Debate: the gap between Americans’ private and public beliefs, and what the American public wants out of the education system. Through those two lenses, we try and assess how divided the country actually is versus how divided it so often seems.  Leave us a voicemail with your thoughts on the show! 321-200-0570 Show notes: https://lostdebate.com/2023/02/15/what-americans-really-think-with-todd-rose/ Subscribe to our feed on Spotify: http://bitly.ws/zC9K Subscribe to our YouTube channel: https://bit.ly/3Gs5YTF Subscribe to our Substack: https://thelostdebate.substack.com/ Follow Lost Debate on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lostdebate/ Follow Lost Debate on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@lostdebate Follow Lost Debate on Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/thelostdebate The Lost Debate is also available on the following platforms:  Stitcher: https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/the-lost-debate iHeart: https://www.iheart.com/podcast/269-the-lost-debate-88330217/ Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.co.uk/podcasts/752ca262-2801-466d-9654-2024de72bd1f/the-lost-debate

America faces two inextricable problems: a growing homelessness crisis, and a dire lack of affordable housing. As the gravity of those issues grows more visible, lawmakers are under increasing pressure to solve them. We sat down with The New York Times' Binyamin Appelbaum to talk about how the state of California -- so often the poster child for how not to handle homelessness -- is making gradual progress, taking a critical yet hopeful look at what the rest of the country can learn from their example. We discuss the unique position land occupies in our society, the persistent phenomenon of NIMBYism, and why the first step to fighting homelessness is both hugely complicated and squarely simple: build more housing.

Ravi and Rikki lead things off with their reactions to President Biden’s State of the Union address and what it says about the state of political polarization today. Then we turn to YouTube extraordinaire MrBeast, why he’s courting controversy over cataract surgeries, and the merits of effective altruism. Finally, we head to the grocery aisle and ask a question that’s surprisingly hard to answer: is that organic food you’re buying actually organic?  [04:01] - SOTU [21:05] - MrBeast [39:05] - Organic Food [50:30] - Voicemails Leave us a voicemail with your thoughts on the show! 321-200-0570 Check out our show notes: https://lostdebate.com/2023/02/10/ep-114/ Subscribe to our feed on Spotify: http://bitly.ws/zC9K Subscribe to our YouTube channel: https://bit.ly/3Gs5YTF Subscribe to our Substack: https://thelostdebate.substack.com/ Follow Lost Debate on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lostdebate/ Follow Lost Debate on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@lostdebate Follow Lost Debate on Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/thelostdebate The Lost Debate is also available on the following platforms:  Stitcher: https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/the-lost-debate iHeart: https://www.iheart.com/podcast/269-the-lost-debate-88330217/ Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.co.uk/podcasts/752ca262-2801-466d-9654-2024de72bd1f/the-lost-debate

Ravi and Rikki take a closer look at the Biden administration’s fair housing plan, potentially including one controversial proposal: rent control. Rikki then turns us to her recent reporting on the mental health effects of the pill and the nuances of birth control. Finally, we take stock of the school choice measure making waves across red and purple America: Education Savings Accounts.  [04:26] - Rent Control [23:33} - Birth Control [38:38] - ESA's [51:12} - Voicemails Leave us a voicemail with your thoughts on the show! 321-200-0570 Check out our show notes: https://lostdebate.com/2023/02/08/ep-113/ Subscribe to our feed on Spotify: http://bitly.ws/zC9K Subscribe to our YouTube channel: https://bit.ly/3Gs5YTF Subscribe to our Substack: https://thelostdebate.substack.com/ Follow Lost Debate on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lostdebate/ Follow Lost Debate on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@lostdebate Follow Lost Debate on Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/thelostdebate The Lost Debate is also available on the following platforms:  Stitcher: https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/the-lost-debate iHeart: https://www.iheart.com/podcast/269-the-lost-debate-88330217/ Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.co.uk/podcasts/752ca262-2801-466d-9654-2024de72bd1f/the-lost-debate
