Show 220: Weaponized Incompetence, Poke and Bush Groundsel

---

---

In this episode I discuss two very useful medicinal herbs, one of which is also one of my favorite wild edible plants. But, this week's show is a bit different than most. I try to answer the question that is on most people's minds these days: "Why does everything seem to be falling apart and why are the people in charge so incompetent?" I discuss the Cloward-Piven strategy, the breakdown of complex systems the failure of the credentialed class, and how Permaculture principles may be strategies to combat this decline in competency.
