Episode 03 - "Gotta Dollar?" - Economic Inequality and Differences

Thanks for joining us for Episode 03!

In this episode, we discuss how the Buddy System effect played out in a real-life issue between Luis and me (Teddy), how that compares to the popular Fox show, House, M.D., and we wrestle with how we can simply begin to think differently about drawing comparisons between those of different economic statuses. Of course there are obvious differences, but which ones do we tend to focus on and why?

After a couple of stories here, and a mental exercise there, we felt encouraged to try and eliminate yet another -ism from our lives. The question is, however, is it really that easy?
