Debating with colleagues, friends & family
Sometimes I wonder how you both maintain composure during the show. Do you ever have days when you say "please just fuck off, I can't talk to you."? What tools have been beneficial in maintaining a worthwhile professional relationship? How do you check yourself on those days when you're in a more combative mood? Asking for a friend. Big fan!

401k and the stock market
I keep hearing over and over again how well the stock market is doing and how it is a symbol of how great everything still is. Record after record broken. My question is how much do you guys believe the stock market is artificially inflated due to so many companies offering and encouraging investment in 401k programs?

Whenever you folks have the chance, please comment on the voting law that just went into effect in NYC that Adams didn't sign. The GOP is planning on suing to block it, but if it stands, green card holders (and more) will be able to vote (in local elections), which plays into the "replacement theory" propaganda that Tucker Carlson and others were preaching about in a way "Hobbit homes" could never hold a candle to https://legistar.council.nyc.gov/LegislationDetail.aspx?GUID=DF600BDA-B675-41D8-A8BD-282C38DC4C62&ID=4313327&Options=ID%7CText%7C&Search=1867
Guest suggestion: Carol Horton
Hi K&S, not sure what the best way to contact you is for a non-Twitterer. I've just been reading some essays by Carol Horton (former poli-sci prof, now Substacker). She seems right up your alley and an ideal guest for you to have on the show. I really like your longer interviews, by the way. https://carolhorton.substack.com/p/rethinking-the-postwar-liberal-dream https://carolhorton.substack.com/p/beyond-trumpism-wokeism-and-neoliberalism
