Show Notes

Reports of overly aggressive or abusive behavior in response to relatively minor slights appear to be increasing, so James Keys and Tunde Ogunlana consider the extent to which the Covid-19 pandemic, along with other societal factors, have contributed to this (01:14).  The guys also discuss research which suggests that money can buy happiness, if it is spent correctly in the right circumstances (31:19).
