Elon Musk is not the founder of Tesla, incorrectly noted in this episode.
because he is hypocritical politician who cares more about keeping his job than actually caring about the people. bidens for prison.
fauci is not a real doctor. He is a medical politician. He has literally reversed and then reversed again on mask policies, school opening, mass gathering/looting, ICUs, ventilators, HCQ, vaccine development timeline. He's a man without moral or even medical principles.
if you respect your fellow countrymen as rational adults, they will behave as such.
Projected to win* Throwing ongoing litigations out the window is not prudent.
This will end the gig economy
Good idea. Finding the "Typhoid Mary's" of the 21st century.

If a Republican declares he's running on a "democratic nazism" and those millions of deaths in the 20th century were not the result of "real nazism." I think that guy would have been burned on a stake.
Very insightful episode.
