Episode 6: What Does Ebike Really Mean? Homeless on a Plane! Is Country Music Good? Primaries Roundup! How Much Property is Too Much? Death, Taxes, and Death Taxes! Recorded July 28th, 2023
Description
We're back in the recording booth with a range of topics this week, and strangely, we agreed on some? The Alaska Governor vetoed a bill defining Ebikes and we discuss if that was the right call. The mayor of Anchorage suggests buying unhoused people plane tickets out of town and we give our takes. Next, we talk about the country song everyone's been debating, "Try That In a Small Town." We try out a new segment on discussing the state of the Republican presidential primaries. Then we discuss a proposal by Democrats to curb investors buying up too many houses. Finally, we debate the inheritance tax. We also catch up with each other, so stay tuned for everything from parenting to Shakespeare!
