Join the Whiskey Bench as we continue the conversation from ep 24. In this episode we start discussing racism and trying to understand pre-enlightenment vs. post-enlightenment thinking about it. We discuss institutions that we believe are attributing to the issues, despite politicians and activists trying to strengthen said institutions. We also try and pinpoint where regulation, unions, and political bulwarks are inhibiting people from finding success and freedom.

Pina Colada
1 oz white rum
1 oz coconut cream
1 oz pineapple juice
Shake ingredients over ice, and strain into a chilled glass. Garnish with a cherry, pineapple spears, lemongrass, or anything really.

Remember, always drink responsibly and cheers to a fulfilled life with all its beauty!
