In this lively episode, John and Gordy tackle the trials of modern America, from Trump's controversial policies to the housing crisis squeezing young families. They critique Trump's cuts to essential services like Medicaid and Meals on Wheels, questioning who truly benefits. Special guests, including Substack writer Mike McCabe, advocate for fresh ideas to tackle housing and education, like prohibiting hedge funds from buying single-family homes and expanding education to a P-14 system. The episode also covers Iceland's successful four-day workweek and the desperate need for universal healthcare. A stark call for imagination and reform in today's political landscape.
