Topic: 20 Bill

The decision to place Harriet Tubman on the $20 bill, replacing Andrew Jackson, is discussed. The hosts highlight unexpected criticism from left-wing writers who argue that placing an abolitionist on American currency is an insult to her legacy of resisting American capitalism. They also note the irony that Tubman's government pension was exactly $20.

There is a movement to replace Andrew Jackson on the $20 bill with a female American hero. While names like Harriet Tubman and Eleanor Roosevelt have been suggested, the hosts highlight a controversial proposal to feature Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger. They criticize Sanger's history with eugenics and note that Jackson himself would likely have hated being on a national bank note.

Reports from websites like Prison Planet suggest that new US $20 bills also contain RFID tags that explode or burn when microwaved. The discussion covers the history of RFID development by companies like Hitachi and Philips. The hosts debate the utility of microwaves, with one host refusing to own one due to concerns over food quality and aesthetics.
