  • Good and bad

    Come for the news. Stay for Elizabeth and Emily outperforming Felix in their research, tact, and analysis. You’ll no doubt pick up tips from them on how to deal with that condescending colleague who loves to interrupt and says very little of value.

  • Felix, c’mon bro!

    Liked Felix back in the day, but he can’t helm this podcast.

    He’s never wrong, condescending and disrespectful to Elizabeth Spiers, and his Wealthy Class privilege seeps through every single out of touch take on the economic realities of the majority.

    Where goeth the grace and humility?

  • Justice for Lindy

    slate is now obsessed with dragging Lindy West as much as possible to cling to relevance and it’s really sad. I didn’t even like her book that much but I don’t think that it’s a good look for slate to be treating her like she’s evil because they don’t think she’s okay with her polyamorous situation. They might be right but I don’t think she deserves what they are doing to her. And slate hasn’t been good since Danny Lavery left anyway.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Money Talks: Do Childcare Subsidies Pay Off?
Q: What is the key takeaway for policymakers?
Think about the primary goal—whether to ease financial pressure on families, boost maternal employment, or raise long-run earnings for children—and choose policy tools that align with that objective, rather than chasing a single 'pay-for-itself' criterion.
Money Talks: Do Childcare Subsidies Pay Off?
Q: Do any policies actually pay for themselves?
Generally no; in the model, none fully pay for themselves, but some policies, like the provider tax credit, have a higher fiscal recovery ratio and can raise government revenue over time due to higher earnings.
Money Talks: Do Childcare Subsidies Pay Off?
Q: What are the main subsidy options analyzed in your model?
We looked at universal subsidies, income-limited subsidies, expanded child-dependant care tax credits for providers, and a child allowance, each with different income rules and aims, to see how they affect cost, enrollment, and wages.
Money Talks: Live from the Library of Mistakes
Q: What is the role of the IMF in debt crises, and how does burden sharing actually work?
The IMF decides the quantum of debt relief and enforces austerity measures, acting as a legitimate mediator that can't compel debtors or creditors to reach terms on their own, but can broker a framework where creditors shoulder some losses while preserving macroeconomic stability.
You’ve Got IPO
Q: But Stacy, does any of this add up to you in terms of the growth story of Bending Spoons?
Stacy-Marie explains that while the acqusitions for growth are convincing on a subscriber and product level, the debt burden and the private-to-public transition raise questions about whether the growth story is sustainable without continued external financing.
