Evidence of Design is a live call-in talk show about the political economy, namely the the relationship between our political choices and economic outcomes. This show investigates and critiques the political-economic ideology of neoliberalism, or the belief that a free-market, small government, privatization, and financialization are the best ways to run society. Generally lacking in public discourse is appropriate attention given to vastly unequal distributions of income and wealth. This show attempts to bring the inequalities produced by neoliberalism to the forefront. Join us in deliberation as we attempt to create the vocabulary necessary to understand how our world works, and as we endeavor to become active agents of change for a more just and equitable society.

Episode 154: School Bus Driver Shortage and the RCSD
In this episode we discuss the Rochester City School District's 9/3/2021 announcement that high school students may start the school year virtually because a bus driver shortage is causing school transportation jobs to go unfilled. The RCSD is not the only school district facing a bus driver shortage: district's across the country are short bus drivers, causing transportation disruptions to the start of the new school year. We explore what's possibly causing the bus driver shortage, critique the standard of the 40 hour work week, and urge for the RCSD's systemic problems, such as poverty and segregation, to be resolved. Thanks for joining us.

Episode 152: Afghanistan - From Then to Now
In this episode we discuss the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan and the Taliban re-takeover. The costs from United States' 20 year war are steep: 250,000 lives (83x those that died 9/11) and over $2.2 trillion ($11,000,000 an hour over the past 20 years) of debt-financed spending. We revisit clips from the Bush Administration in 2001 and hear their demands of the Taliban and projections for how the war would go. From a conventional war, to counterinsurgency, to nation building, to training security forces, to withdrawal and, now, to armed oversight of evacuation, U.S. involvement has been varied and challenged. Thanks for joining us.
