Hi. My name is Jay Hannah. I’m a computer nerd with too many hobbies currently living in Omaha, Nebraska, USA. I’ve been listening to podcasts since before iTunes knew what they were. Big fan.

I’ve had lots of interesting conversations with people about their jobs, projects, hobbies, politics, religion, and other topics that may or may not be safe for polite company.

In January 2015 I bought a cool microphone. Let’s see if anybody will go “on the record” with me. And if anyone wants to listen. :)

    44 Enforced Homelessness w/ Chris Hoover

    44 Enforced Homelessness w/ Chris Hoover

    On February 25 2024, Aaron Bushnell set himself on fire at the gate of the
    Israeli embassy in Washington, DC “as an act of protest against the ongoing
    genocide of Palestinians in Gaza.”


    Aaron wrote “I view enforced homelessness as a societal failing and a crime against humanity.”


    Chris asked “we enforce homelessness?” Jay tries to convince Chris that we do.

    The full article: Memories of Aaron Bushnell: As Recounted by His Friends


    Excerpt from that article: “I’ve always been bothered by the reality of
    homelessness, even back when I was growing up in a conservative community. I
    have come to believe in the importance of solidarity politics and I view the
    enforcement of homelessness as a major front in the class war which must be
    challenged for all our sakes. I view helping my houseless neighbors as a moral
    obligation, a matter of social justice, and a matter of good politics. If I
    don’t stand with those more marginalized than me today then who will be left to
    stand with me tomorrow.


    I view enforced homelessness as a societal failing and a crime against
    humanity. I believe that no one deserves to be deprived of basic human
    necessities. I believe that homelessness as an involuntary condition must be
    abolished.”

    43 Mass Shootings vs. Individual Rights w/ Chris Hoover

    Sick of listening to Chris and Jay talk about guns yet? No? Great!
    Here’s another swing at it. Chris and Jay were going back and forth
    via text, Jay drug Chris back onto the podcast to try to talk through
    their differences.


    Too long won’t listen: Jay thinks the level of societal gun violence should
    drive gun policies, including removing millions of guns from society.
    Chris thinks he has an individual right to his guns, irrespective of societal
    mayhem (or not).

    Editing note:


    Melody: Can you change the title from constitutional carry to permitless carry
    or gun law changes or whatever else? Const. carry is actually a propaganda
    slogan used to spread the idea that gun laws are not allowed by order of the
    constitution, which is very much untrue.


    Jay: Yup, back at a computer in 30m, thanks.

    Q: Is it back yard or backyard? A: If you barbecue in your back yard on Sunday, you can eat leftovers from your
    backyard barbecue on Monday. When you talk about your back yard as a place, use two words. If you’re describing
    a backyard activity or object, use one word.
