Heard Tell w/ Andrew Donaldson For 10JAN23
CDC vs Pain Patients, Egg Prices & Chicken Economics, Lauren Boebert w/ Peter Pischke & Krista Kafer
Your Heard Tell for Tuesday, January 10th, 2022, is turning down the noise of the news cycle and getting to the information we need to discern our times by talking about new CDC guidelines involving opioids and pain patients, as journalist and writer Peter Pischke returns to Heard Tell to discuss his USA Today piece that has been called one of the most discussed pieces they’ve ever had. What the CDC guidelines mean, the habit of “guidelines” becoming de facto mandates, reaction both medically and legally from doctors, and the potential to make a bad problem even worse. Plus, Denver Post columnist Krista Kafer returns to Heard Tell to talk about the chicken and the egg; soaring egg prices that are not just about inflation, poultry and eggs as stamples of the food supply, economics and morals of poultry farming, and what consumers can control from their own grocery stores. Also, a Colorado point of view on Representative Lauren Boebert, her close election win, the lessons she should have learned from it, and if the opening of congress shows she did or did not.
