Great show - part of my daily listen
Great show
All through the election cycle this pod promoted Kamala. Now that Trump is in office he is clearly showing his bias. No one, no one has trusted the labor data for years. Trump removes the head of the agency that provides that data. No brainer. If someone isn’t performing, you remove them. This pod spends 14 minutes saying the firing was wrong. 1 minute of discussing why it was the right move. This is just one example of why this is now a Democrat who is pushing his own agenda.
Used to be a good show till AI turned the content into beige vacuity. Not a drop of original reasoning in entire shows amid the vibes and giggles and tautological appeals to authority. Too lazy to read a 15 minute piece lol?
