Summary

In this episode of The Wealth Effect, we break down a week defined by the arrival of "the bill" for the last decade of economic and technical decisions. We examine the collision between rapid innovation and legacy friction, where digital locksmiths are exposing decades of human error and the federal government is being forced to settle a $200 billion tab.
