  • Not an economist

    Yes, exponential, but relativity matters more. “Hardware” is not “Vaporware”. "what Andy giveth, Bill taketh away."

  • Ridiculous amount of ads

    Seriously, the content is ok (good but very superficial analysis) but there are like 6 minutes worth of ads in a 15 minute podcast. Absolutely ridiculous. iHeartPodcasts are the worst at this.
