Rogatyuk joins the show to talk about Chile's proposed new constitution, The Economist magazine is calling it a “woke and fiscally irresponsible mess.” The Washington Post also called it “woke” - it's a trend. It's getting the “woke” tag because it apparently mentions gender frequently, it says animals have the right to live without abuse, it envisions new environmental protections. And, the Misfits talk about what in particular Chileans were rejecting, and what kind of society the old constitution had helped create?
