New Writer Joining the Team!

Hello Readers,

My name is Alex Zabit, and I will be putting together the new politics section of your newsletter. As a recent graduate in Political Science from UCSB, I will do my best to translate the chaos of today’s ridiculous times into easily understood concepts that, through the course of my articles, will help you all have the tools to put events into context, parse through facts and fiction, and overall better understand and predict past, present, and future events. I truly hope you enjoy what I have put together for you.

Cheers,

Alex Z


Political Bar Talk. It will be broken down into two sections. The first, I will be choosing an abstract political concept that many of you may feel like you understand the jist of, yet may find a hard time explaining to another person. If you may find yourself in a political argument in a bar, hopefully this will help. The second, I will be discussing a current event of particular importance to international security, economic health, or stability. This event will elaborate on a real world example of how the above concept is used, or misused, to the benefit or detriment of the individuals, communities, and government affected.
