## Resource

Among tech titans, there is an invisible line dividing those who add something meaningful to our society and those who are merely extracting value for their own benefit. Bradley reviews the roster of Jobs, Musk, Bezos, Zuckerberg, Altman and more. Plus, will the e-bike tragedy in the East Village force Mayor Mamdani to do the right thing, does standing in line bring New Yorkers together, what Bill Simmons could bring to the LA Clippers and why 'Exit Party' by Emily St. John Mandel is the book to read right now. This episode was taped at P&T Knitwear at 180 Orchard Street — New York City’s only free podcast recording studio. Send us an email with your thoughts on today’s episode: info@firewall.media .
