639: Tangible Things
Lisbon Treaty, Communicable Diseases, and Civil Liberties
The hosts revisit the Lisbon Treaty, noting provisions that allow for the detention of individuals with communicable diseases without due process. They suggest that a virus outbreak could be used as a pretext to usher in a totalitarian state within the European Union. A listener correction is also acknowledged regarding the overused crutch word "essentially."
