Water to the west

I've written a couple of times about getting water to the west from the Mississippi. Looks like that charter is getting more prevalent. Here is the story and would love to hear thoughts on possible water pipeline https://www.yahoo.com/news/drought-parched-west-wants-mississippi-130101815.html

Roe v Wade & Dems Responsibility

In the wake of the reversal, there has been criticism of Dems not doing enough in the decades' long run-up to this. Friends, who albeit work for the party, have said that even if we'd been able to codify this into law, it still could have been reversed by conservatives. Can you say more about how much and what kind, if any, criticism, should land on the shoulders of Democrats?

Where the ladies at?

You mentioned in a recent segment (discussing that lularoe documentary) that your audience is largely men. I was wondering if each of you had theories or insights as to why that is? My thinking is that the topics/issues you cover speak to men who feel they are being left behind in this economy and culture, but are there obvious reasons I'm missing? I'm also curious if you have much demographic data on your subscribers and if you'd ever consider sharing it publicly? As a woman in academia, I figured I'm not the average BP subscriber, but I'd be interested to see where I fall compared to my fellow breakers (e.g., in terms of income and education level, occupation, and geographic location of this diverse audience). I don't remember answering a lot of questions when I signed up, so you may not have much information. Nonetheless I'm curious who makes up this unique BP audience. Thanks for all you do!

Health care & going independent

Hi, I recently re-experienced the health care marketplace. Unfortunately, I was told by a navigator that I couldn’t buy insurance for my daughter, the dental coverage was useless, and the application didn’t accurately reflect our life. After all this time, it’s still a mess. How did you guys make it work with respect to health care when going independent - especially for you with a family Krystal?

Spirituality

When are you going to DIRECTLY address the impact of SPIRITUALITY, both of and on, the many issues that you express in your conversations? I've been a subscriber since day two, and I don't remember your EVER mentioning it. For instance, I keep waiting for you to speak to Marrianne Williamson's comments on the lack of ANY spiritual insight into today's multiple issues that impact the Soul (or the Soulessness of both Republicans and neo-liberals) of the nation.
