Why Gen Z Chooses Socialism, The Starter Home Crisis and AI Guardrails (Chad Law)

World Ablaze with George Fontes delivers unfiltered, no-bullshit conversations and hard-hitting unfiltered commentary on politics, news, and geopolitics.

Chad Law is the host of Common Sense with Chad Law joins the show for wide ranging discussion that addresses the causes of the symptoms of today's America.

Chad is the, self professed, "Last Gay Conservative", and starts the conversation with his journey and motivations that put him behind the microphone. Chad felt that the gay community was being misrepresented by provocateurs such as Milo Yiannopoulos. Chad set out to offer common sense perspectives and solutions, as a conservative, that doesn't feed the narrative and stereotype of what a gay person is supposed to say and feel.

Chad and I dissect the institutional failings that have driven the youth towards the adoption of socialism, from lies to failing markets and cost of living, that have made the American Dream seemingly unattainable.

Wages and opportunities are also scrutinized as we discuss the gross abuse of migrant workers and using H1B as a means for large corporations to save money, while qualified U.S. workers get passed over.

The Democratic Party has a problem, and that is party voters electing 123 DSA candidates to win their Primaries with 19 of them being congressional candidates. We discuss how this is in direct opposition to what America is built on and what the Democratic Party, and their voters will do to keep America on track in the Midterm Elections. Will the Democrats vote Republican to block the socialist agenda, or just check the Democrat box that pushes the DSA candidates into congress?

Chad and I also discuss solutions vs podium politics, and the games that being played on both sides to keep Americans fighting each other, and then ask if the Republican Party is in trouble.

We close out the episode discussing AI and the concerns that may be largely propagandist narratives.
