The tabloid nature of news and politics is pretty much the story of politics throughout history, but in our current era it's in overdrive. From Stormy Daniels to Twitter blasts, it's constant craziness. For every significant achievement, or major potential moment, there's a media frenzy. And, while some of this is the fault of the president, some of it is the obsessive media frenzy. There's an obvious objective within the media to play at politics.This episode also includes an update on the recently passed Seattle Head Tax.

A new solar panel policy is being put forward in the golden state. It would require new homes to be outfitted with the technology beginning in 2020. Should the state of California involve itself further in the solar panel market? Only 15-20% of new homes are currently including solar panels in their construction process. Is it morally responsible to force that percentage to increase on behalf of environmental and energy efficiency concerns? Should California bureaucrats be increasing dictates to people looking to build new homes? This proposed policy comes from the California Energy Commission. This organization is run by officials that are unelected. Should a committee of appointees be crafting policy that affects such significant aspects of California's economic and environmental sectors? Should the policy be put before the voters of California as a statewide ballot measure? Is this so impactful to the housing and energy sectors that no single government agency should have the power to craft this policy without the approval of the citizens? It's these questions and more that drive this conversation. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Vignette 2! Seattle City Council member and vocal socialist Kshama Sawant continues to push for a head tax against Amazon. She drives the narrative in a press conference held in Seattle's South Lake Union neighborhood.

While Sawant claims to be on their side, Boozed & Bothered's own Daddy claims she's out of touch.
