Together, we research and break down complex, and even controversial, topics facing our society. Our goal isn’t to convince you to see things our way. We want to build a foundational understanding of these complicated topics so that we can address them together. We talk about some pretty heavy stuff on this show, and we tackle topics that might feel polarizing. But we do that because we have an important goal in mind: We want to change the way people have hard conversations. And, we think we can do that using research and discussion to create common understanding. And, since you’re here, we hope you want the same thing. So we suggest getting comfortable, and maybe having a good drink on hand as we work through this stuff. Welcome to our fireside.

You know how some topics seem unnecessarily… polarized? Like, conversation about them just ends up with someone ranting about how the other political party is to blame for all the world’s problems? The price of gas is one of those topics. So this week, we decided to try to put those rants to rest with a breakdown of why gas prices are what they are, and a look at whether or not the rise and fall of prices can be blamed on (or credited to) one political party or the other. We also spend a few minutes talking about what your wallet can expect from prices at the pump in the near future.

I'm curious about the closing of pipelines or the opening of same. Does that effect the price as well?
