Ryan>Margot Robbie?
I just wanted to share that Saggar and Ryan's recent use of monopoly money in an explanation of private equity reminded me of how Margot Robbie in a bubble bath was used to explain the Big Short. Ryan>Margot Robbie. I love the show and I have so many intelligent questions but I just had to share this funny thought with you all.
Right-to-Repair
Everyone is always talking about John Deere but I would love to see a segment on Right-to-Repair on medical equipment. You have educated, qualified technicians in hospitals who can't get parts without training, training without massive restrictions, or even basic answers without paying people like GE $500 just to pick up the phone.
Debbie Wasserman is not fired
How is this woman able to sit in a congressional hearing and try to smear Matt Taibbi, of all journalists, about ethics? Didn’t she have to resign after fixing the democratic primary with Hillary Clinton? I was amazed to see her - I thought she was long gone. What is happening? How are these politicians able to still work in government PERIOD!!!!!!!
How would you articulate the case for populism?
Hey guys, love the show. Used to be fairly set in my ways politically, and listening to you consistently for the last year and change has made me open up quite a bit. My question: born and raised in Venezuela, I have a complicated relationship with populism. My thinking has always been: good decision making is rooted in discipline and the principle of deferred gratification. I do not believe the majority of people would be considered disciplined. Thus, populism inevitably leads to sub-optimal (if not outright poor) long-term outcomes. With that in mind, how would you articulate the case for populism?
