Summary
This week The Captain and Mr. Green are still waiting on their chocolate chip pancakes while the police interview the waitstaff. In the meantime: why does time speed up as you get older (and why is Green immune), the SpaceX IPO prospectus reads like a hype bot wrote it, Reddit is cooked, the Moonshine Spaceship captain debate gets settled once and for all, and holographic cigarettes may or may not be making it into the show. Also the Intergalactic House of Waffles shirt is real, it's $16 on TeePublic, and it will be worth something someday. Wear it and refuse to explain it to anyone. Get the shirt: https://www.teepublic.com/t-shirt/76632863-intergalactic-house-of-waffles?store_id=803009 economyofnothing.com | Patreon | TikTok | Instagram | Substack In the distant future, it's all gonna be fine.
