Summary

Ep. 309 - Free Buses & $30 Burgers: A Socialist Love Story David and Brad dissect New York City's newly elected Marxist mayor and his fever-dream platform of free groceries, $30/hr minimum wages, and replacing cops with social workers armed with hugs. They explore the inevitable exodus of the 1%, calculate the hilarious math on 55% tax rates, and propose walling off Manhattan to trap voters with the consequences of their choices. Plus: the alarming rise of Americans dating AI chatbots, complete with digital jealousy and uncomfortable sushi dates. Spoiler alert—neither socialism nor robot girlfriends lead to increased birth rates, which might solve both problems eventually.
