"Find me on Twitter and Clubhouse. So I'm at mister cool BP. I think on both. I'm on Clubhouse every day hanging out, so come hang out with us there. Brew Twitter. I'm also Peter and I are both trying to learn noster. So give us we're boomers when it comes to nostrils. Take me, take me about a year to get all the plebs out of my face on Twitter and their bullshit. Fuck you, fuck this. But let's not give Nostra go. Ben, thank you, glad. Glamour met you in Boston when I did and I'm glad you worked with me four year anniversary is coming up, keep crushing that. Thanks, Peter. You enjoy that? It's great to get them on the show. Yes, Ben is art and house Austrian economist. And he is the guy who holds me and Danny holds our hand for the fire with regards to some of the economic concepts that we took on the podcast. He also helps with the financial shows that we do cover in those kind of topics. As I said in the intro, we also recorded our first exclusive content and patrons subscribers, basically me, Ben Danny, just sat there giving each other some shit. If you want to check that out, head over to our Patreon Patreon dot com slash what Bitcoin did. Outside of that, we are Danny Flynn home today with back to the UK and it's going to be our next sprint. Can't wait to get back and see the football team and make some shows out there. You've got any questions about this or anything else do drop me an email and tell them what Bitcoin did dot com.

"He goes through that. And it's like, well, there's two sides of this. One, it's like, well, a free market court sounds like for profit courts, and it sounds like the guy with the most money wins. Yes. But then again, isn't that kind of how it already exists? If the guy has a lot of money, and not always, obviously, the truth is on our side, a lot of cases. But a guy with a lot of money can throw around his weight and sometimes cause undue hardship through the court system already. I've experienced that. Absolutely. So I don't know, and I don't know what that would look like. And I agree with you, but what they would also say is that causing harm through releasing chemicals, you mentioned the DuPont thing through nuclear waste, right? That that would cause harm to other people, that's violation of the non aggression principle, and that that would be dealt with in that manner. And on a question principle, a firstly, everyone has to agree to it and we are violent animals. So let's be honest. And the non aggression for the non aggression principle to have any validity requires government. It requires some kind of structure of society to deal with that. And that is something some agreement on rules. What that means and how they're dealt with. It's more like, well, what causes harm? So today, bear with me for a second, Peter. So at least in American courts, the idea of precedent. And that a court set some kind of precedent. And that things are derived from that. And then it's not a rule that like, oh, obviously, John broke X rule. It's that we have this precedent that kind of exists because we understand this logic and we derive other things from it. And that's the idea that honor aggression principle. It's not that, well, now we need all these rules that tell you what is an aggression what isn't. And the hard part, though, where I'm a sympathizing with your rejection of this notion that the principle just solves everything is that it's not clear exactly what we would determine through a very efficient society. Now that we have this perfect society with these perfect free market courts and all this perfect capital allocation and this utopian kind of idea that we would know exactly how does that look like the structure of it all? And we don't know that. That's the unseen. And I don't have an answer for that. I just don't. And I'm sorry. What the fuck should you come here for? I know. Jesus Christ. Now, I go back to look, the aero Voorhees thing is perfect. Yeah. Let's just go 1% less.

"You just touched on it with the Sam waters episode where they were looking at how much was fees and how much was subsidized. But it's going up every cycle right? Absolutely, that's my point, is that if you follow that trend, you know that these things will be priced out. And for most, most most people, right? Yeah, but I think those who are wanting to have these JPEGs on Bitcoin because they use up the space they take up the demand, they take up the supply of the block space and that means minus getting paid, bye bye bye. I think that is a high time preference thinking coming into Bitcoin. Bitcoin has been absolutely fine cycle after cycle of cycle. We're still here. Mine is a still making money. It's like $22,000 for a Bitcoin right now. If you're a psycho maximum is like it's working. Yes, I do not think we need to choke the chain with JPEGs as a justification for mine is getting paid. Miners need to be more efficient. We'll get the fuck out of it. I'm with you on that. I'm just saying there's nothing really fundamentally that's changed. You could always put money in an you could put data in an return. There was 80 bytes of data. So 80 bytes isn't enough for a jpeg. So you could have straying a bunch of these operators together. It would have costed you money. What's changed is that well, you can do that for a discount of one half now. So Andrew Poel style actually posted this and I saw it. It was a great response, is that essentially, if you're bullish and he didn't say this, he made that point that it's only a one X discount so that if you are bullish on Bitcoin's fee market and basically Bitcoin working because we need the market for Bitcoin to work, then you're not bullish on these things. That's all. They'll be completely priced out. We've gone on a massive tangent here.

"And so it was pushed as and the reason it bothered me is NFTs were pushed as the savior of artists themselves, the pained artists who earned no money can now make money because they get neath donations, but actually all it was was loads of people pushing whatever collectible it is at that point. But was there any real value in it? Or is it just a fomo? And I just think it just, I don't know. Peter, do you know what John Seth would say? Are there any real value in a Babe Ruth card or a beanie baby? And this is a really important point. I think, listen, there are people that want to collect these NFTs. We're seeing the boom of it. We can briefly touch on the boom of it on Bitcoin. Can we just not? Fuck that. That's really quickly. I just want to say that, listen, I think that that has already started to die on eth in some ways. It's coming over in a Bitcoin currently. But I think that ultimately. These things are scarce, but it's an illusion. It's not even as I think the Babe Ruth card is more interesting. And I don't think Babe Ruth cards are interesting. I'm not into baseball cards. I'm not into beanie babies. And I don't think it's saving artists. I don't think any of that's going to happen. I think AI, if anything is going to change the way, a lot more than NFTs do. He said, you're not into Babe Ruth gods. I call it sneakers. I know you did. But I don't. I don't think it's that interesting. Yeah, I do, 'cause I wear some. I got my reverse pandas on today. I bought three pairs of these. I think my point about the NFTs and as it comes to Bitcoin is that I think we are seeing it die on eth, not because we found out that JPEGs weren't stored on chain. I think that was more of a speculative bubble. That you've seen kind of crypto do this. It's shifted from one scam if you want to use that word to the next, where first it was all the Bitcoin competitors. And they don't do that anymore. They don't really compete with Bitcoin anymore. And it was always ICOs right. And then what? Well, basically, there was the binance chain BNB ones. But now we've kind of moved to NFTs, probably next will be like moving more towards games. There's game people trying to integrate it all on time to find a problem for a solution. I think so. And I think it's a problem of inflation believe it or not, that I think Bitcoin actually experienced plenty of inflation in its early days. Massive amounts of inflation, which massively distributed capital and weird ways. And there was all this mal investment, which is another asteroid economics term that I think this money is still kind of sloshing around. And as Bitcoin isn't really sound money yet, like we say, it lost 70% of its value in the last year or whatever. It's not sound money, right? It's still trying to find its way and become money, that as it does that, like that money sloshing around is going to go into weird places. I don't think the NFT craze is here to stay personally. I just find it so uninteresting. I just don't. So many people are talking about it on Twitter and arguing about it. And I've seen both sides of the argument. I've seen some quite trolley stuff.

"What's AI doing? It's making us even better. So like you say, it's opening more opportunity for more people to be competitive. And actually, kind of changing the incentive structure. Yeah. I totally agree. And I listen, I'm super bullish on humanity. I'm both on technology. I've always been a technologist, and it's funny because the same way I'm trying to find myself defending anarcho capitalism to my Friends. Now I'm feeling like I'm trying to defend AI and I'm like, well, listen, this technology just exists, right? It's kind of a cat out. It's kind of like Bitcoin. It's a cat out of the bag kind of situation. Where you can't put it back in. And what I do want to see, I think what is important for us to consider is to make sure these things are as open-source and available in customizable as possible. You've seen that stuff about. Changing and chat GPT is biased in some ways. I think we should try to minimize that as much. Then put it in the box. Because I've seen this safety. Yeah, and I've seen responses like, I think I saw something today about not allowing sexual relationship conversations with the robots or something. I saw one on Twitter. I've not done this, so I'm not a 100% sure it was true, but I saw on Twitter, someone asked it to write something about Trump and write the same thing about Biden. I think it was about why they were a good president, and it refused to write about Trump, but it did write about Biden. Yeah, and they had some kind of, they had some justification. It was something along the lines of, oh, well, Trump instilled violence once. So we don't want to promote violence, so we're not going to promote Trump because he promoted violence. And that was the reasoning. The professor put in human decisions in the way of it. Yes. And this is what I'm saying is we need to find ways to right now the technology just to even run this software is actually like it's outside the level of consumer. You know those image generation AIs. I run one of those in my computer. That's easy.

"The part of the conversation that we have to at least tie into this, Peter, is that this is like Jeff booth's whole thing, okay? Remember that along this whole way, what should be happening, the technology should be doing is lowering the cost. And if we're talking about exponentials, it should be lowering the cost exponentially, but there's a huge problem here is that we target as a number, a percentage that the price goes up, not down. We make sure that that technological exponential deflation can not happen. We ensure that it does not happen. There's a whole body of government dedicated to making sure that we can't have prices drop exponentially. And that, I think, is a massive problem with this whole thing. Because that is how we could lead to prosperity. If we could literally get this is, listen, if you talk about a hundred years ago, we have taken hundreds and millions of people probably billions of people out of poverty. I don't know the numbers. The way that we have done that is through deflation, much in spite, much despite. Monetary inflation. We have had massive deflation. The costs to get somebody food or clothing or whatever. Have gone down. In real terms and that is what is amazing for society. So this is the Bitcoin argument. Okay, here's the segue into the Bitcoin arguments that we absolutely need a money that will allow that massive exponential deflation. Can you find that chart where it's got the blue and the red lines for what we've seen where have we seen in price inflate and deflate? And it's usually things like healthcare as massively inflated. And it seems like TVs of deflated. Yeah, around the time that I was coming up with heavily armed clown that what the fuck happened in 1971. That was one of my other favorite charts to share. And it doesn't really go with the site. But yeah, I know exactly what you're talking about. Yeah, I think it was Linden, where I've lost spoke about it. I know that I mean I'm can't find it. Yeah, well, listen, if we could dig it out, we shove up in the show notes. Yeah, listen, look, I'm not anti AI. I'm already seeing the benefits of it. I am God. Should I confess this? Should I confess this? I'm going to confess this and then go for it. You guys have decide if you edit it out. Jason Meyer asked me to write the intro for his book. Yeah, the progressive progressives case for Bitcoin, right? And I'm okay with writing sometimes when I get going, but like I need the inspiration. And so what I did is I wrote down a list of the things. I will come back to that. I wrote down a list of things I wanted to write about in this intro. It was like 12 things. And then I went into chat cheap PT and I said, can you write me a forward for a book, which is 1200 words long, which makes a case for a progressive case for Bitcoin. Including these key points, which I listed. And so I'll try and dig out the original.

You know, it's funny because it has his angst, but like a lot of the complaints you hear about the music generated by eyes. It doesn't have the soul. Well, it's so homogenized, isn't it? Yeah.

"You need tools and you have to actually construct those tools. And how do you construct those tools? You don't know how to construct the tools. Because you have to refine or again, just to get the tools. And the graphite, I honestly, I've said this talk a bunch of times, and I still don't know where the graphite comes from. I literally couldn't even tell you. How do you get the graphite to make the pencil? And so the idea of the miracle of the price system is that it's the actual collective collaboration of thousands of people all around the world to make a single pencil. And it is the prices that signal those folks of what they should be doing. And that it is, there's no one coordinator, one central pencil, a ministry of pencils that tells all these people which thing to make that they just kind of all know what to do because if they bid too high with their price of their ingredient for pencils, their wood or their graphite, then people won't buy it, so they have to adjust the price to get to the right place. And the price is coordinate human action kind of globally in societally.

"Mine at home in the morning. Whereas there's like $3 I would have buy it and at $3 you might have you might have like ten jobs there and we'll put this up on the screen Peter when we read in the podcast but this is one of my favorite memes about the minimum wage and about inflation where I don't remember exactly what it says on there. But I'll read it. In 1964, the minimum wage was 5 90% silver quarters. In 2021, 5 90% silver quarters have a melt value of $23, 34. We don't need minimum wages we need sound money. Because that's the way they're calling for is like $25 an hour. That's literally the call today is we need a $25 minimum wage. Boom, that's what it used to be in sound money. Yeah, so again, just to reiterate the point. The only thing I worry about with no minimum wage is exploitation. So we have a problem in the UK. It's not a huge problem, but we have a problem which is called modern day slavery. Whereby people will bring over a number of immigrants to work in the UK, whether it's picking strawberries, working in a factory, the old tend to live in a house together. And they collect the wages from and pay these people, but they pay them pitiful amounts, like pitiful amounts, and these people can't speak the local language. They can't leave, they can't get out of that system. So I don't know if no minimum wage makes that worse, or maybe the minimum wage actually makes that worse. That's incentivized these people, but there are times where you could have exploitation. And I think that comes to the bigger question that will come to the end is like, what is the role of government? One of the things that they can do and they do do well, if anything, well, that's a tough I don't know about the specific situation, Peter, but there's a really similar one here in the United States. Have you ever heard of a coyote? Maybe gone. So we have a lot of folks that come up from South America. It's conditions are very poor to work in South America. And it's also hard for people to come here legally. So one of the things that happens is they get smuggled in. By these coyotes, they call them, right? The coyote. And in the process of that smuggling, there is often an indentured servitude exploitation component of it and I wonder if that's a really a problem that's created by, first of all, they're screwed up government, right? Because stuff's so poor they are probably because of corruption, money printing. We saw it happen in Venezuela, Argentina. It goes on in Brazil. It's like crazy, right? Economic imperialism, economic imperialism. We can get it to the World Bank and the IMF. So that's the problem that created the situation, right? Or like we can look at the immigration situation, right? If these were free private cities, maybe there'd be like this effective way to enter that you don't need a coyote, I don't know. So it's interesting to, I think this is kind of an unseen part of it because we're looking at, yes, here's this one little thing where this person's getting exploited.

Or you can stimulate the economy, but there are other consequences. So QE can QE can stimulate the economy. Like it's been proven to stimulate the economy. But it has well, it has tail. Tear effects, which may be inflation, which you're robbery for Peter to pay Paul, but on a time lag. Okay, I'm stimulating it now, but there's a cost later on. I think the point you're trying to make is I'm not going to argue with the point you're trying to make. But the QE thing is not that that's Jeff Snyder would disagree with you on the QE part of it that QE QE is just some asset swap. And it's more of a psychological trick to try to keep banks lending. But the point you're trying to make is still valid. You're saying it's deficit spending, especially. Yeah, deficits. Yeah, and I think that's a better way to try to make the point. And yes, absolutely. It can heat up some industries. Where are you going to spend that money though? That's my point, right? That where are we now stimulating and what that's doing is it's taking away from somewhere else. That's all. Just to say it very simply. Yeah. Okay. No, no, this is fair. So can you give me a modern comparison? Because the window is fine, but do we have a modern comparison for that? Yeah, so he talks about he talks about the farmer and this is maybe not the greatest modern comparison because it's like a little bit outdated, but I thought it was still an interesting kind of anecdote here. He talks about a farmer getting loans, either directly from the government or guaranteed by the government. And that's kind of really important there.

"And I'm with them every time. And I think to Ben's point there as well, is like, you say that it's a measure of society, how well you look after the needy, but society aren't looking after the needy. That's been taken out society's hands and the government are doing that without any input from society as a whole. Not disagree. I think both happen, I think food banks is a great example. Food banks is society within the UK choosing to have it here as well to voluntarily on a charitable basis. Collect food and be able to distribute it to the people who most needy. So I think both happen. And I think that's a great example of the fact that you do get voluntary and charitable organizations who will support the most needy in society. But perhaps a better example would be wheelchair access in the UK. The rules around if you're building any kind of public use property, it has to be wheelchair accessible. Or private. Yeah, didn't you run into that with your house? But that's when you get into the stupid side of things where yeah, so yeah, just so anyone listening, I bought a house for the house to be signed off by the bedfordshire building regulations.

"Well, that's my problem with democracy at the moment. The incentive model is broken. Because people realize, holy shit, like we can print all this money and we don't have to deal with the consequences. Definitely. And that's what we're still now. We're like, oh wait, we do have to deal with the consequences. Well, yeah, in different ways. But there's such a lag on those consequences. Yes. Like the high inflation now is essentially been you could say it's been 12 to 14 years in the making from the financial crisis. But I think the financial crisis made people realize, hey, we can just print money. And kind of it's okay. We can just print more. We can do more QE until they ran out of bullets, but yeah, okay, well listen, we should come back to that at the end, because I think that's a good way. But in terms of these logical fallacies, what would you say are the kind of primary logical fallacies? Or example, logical fallacies of keynesian economics, which people don't really address, or should be addressing. Well, so instead of actually answering that directly, what he does in the book is he starts with this seemingly simple logical fallacy called the broken window, which is one you'll hear about a lot if you kind of get into this. I remember. Yeah, you've heard of it before. And just like, I think it's good to just kind of explain it for folks. So they're just kind of see one of these things happen. Because I don't think it's like this particular example, but then he uses this as an archetype to then show how all these other things are actually just different forms of this broken window fallacy. But the broken window is just the fact that let's say we're here in this pub right here. And some little kid runs through and he throws a brick through the window and he breaks the window. Now the owner, Tom, of pubkey, or he's one of the guys. He now has to pay a glacier. The guy who makes windows to come and fix the window. And he's to pay what a hundred, 200 bucks or whatever, so the window. At the time, the book was written. It was like 50 bucks, but inflation, right? But regardless, so that 200 bucks now goes into the pocket of the window guy. And the window guy, you know, some of that's going to be his costs of materials and his labor, but then he's going to take some of that as profit, and he's going to go spend that at. The baker, and then blah, blah, blah on and on, that money goes through the economy. So this brick going through this window has stimulated the economy. Has it?

"Well, that's not the arguments that are made in the book, but no. Listen, I am kind of more towards the spectrum where I've been trying to at least entertain the idea of what society would look like without governments. And I think like some of the arguments he makes in this book, although he's not making that argument, what is the most difficult part about this conversation to even have in the first place is to imagine what could be that isn't. And this sounds like such a simple concept. It sounds like such a simple paradigm. Just, oh, well, you're just imagining other things. But what would the society look like without a government? Is a very, that's really what he's imagining with every single policy that he kind of goes through in this book. He's saying, well, what else could have been? So like the Brooklyn Bridge, we built the Brooklyn Bridge. It's this great giant, it's massive. It's beautiful. The London Bridge in London, right? It connects two places. That's awesome. But what could society have said? And there's also the old libertarian trope about roads, right? Who will build the roads if we didn't have a government? And you know, I've made the argument before. We as kids grew up watching the jetsons and having flying cars, well, what if we, because we spent all this money on roads and there's all these messed up incentives that the roads end up costing all this money. As a society, we could have already gotten to the point where we had flying cars today if we didn't invest so much money in all these government roads. That's harder to do to make these imaginations. You need this conscious effort of the imagination to imagine what else could be. Well, it's a bit like if you look at what's happened with NASA up until probably around 1971 or whatever the day it is. But like an innovation at NASA slowed down and it's been outcompeted by Elon Musk, what he's done crushed it. Right? Because the reusable rockets, the private sectors proved it. We got Concord and was it the 70s we got Concorde?

"Logic, I think everybody uses logic, right? It's the tough thing is to not only just avoid these logical traps, these logical fallacies. But to do the work to consider all of the consequences of our actions. And that's one of the things that Henry gets to in the book a lot as hazlitt. He says that the world is full of all of these so called economists who in turn are full of schemes for getting something for nothing. And it's the idea that will enact this one policy. But then there's all these kind of butterfly effects down the line that in order to use all the logic to trace all of the effects of these one policy, that's just too much work. And that's boring anyway. I'd rather be a rhetorical politician and say, I can do this one thing and it's going to save this one group and that group is like, yay, awesome. And then we kind of forget about all the other groups and how it affects them. Because we don't fully understand or appreciate the cause and effect. Absolutely. And because also the people are making these decisions, the people in government, and by the way, I'm becoming more more anti government. I'm still pro democracy. Anti the current state of democracy. And what's become a lot more obvious now is the incentive structure within the within government right now is that it's designed in such a way that they don't really suffer the consequences of the decisions they make. They're incentivized to retain power and retain. I mean, I watch this great series on YouTube recently about bonds being the biggest scam. And then essentially all we do is from a lecture into a lecture. We go from one party to another, promising things which they can't afford and can't pay for. Because if they were going to make the correct promises, they'll be saying, well, we need to cut spend.

"How did insecure change you? I think it changed me as a creator profoundly I started on girlfriends with primarily in African American show but certainly feeling like we were a marginalized and UPM CW not taken seriously by our peers and I think after having gone to network shows where I was the only person of color in the room. You sort of get used to like accepting things as they are, right? And going to do a secure with Easter Molina, but that energy of a young energy wanting to come in and take over as I did too, but you're also feeling like you're on the island all the time. Off of that experience was just like, no, we're not asking for permission anymore. We're just going to do the thing and speak up for what we want to do, how we want to build our crews, right? Saying that we're not going to 50% has to be people of color on women. And saying we're doing this or we're not doing this, right? And I just think it made me be much more vocal about the types of things that I would want going forward as a producer, like any other person, right? Like any other white creator gets to say, I want to do this. I want to do that. But sometimes when you're the only one you don't feel empowered to do that because you have to justify or explain why it just gets kind of tiring. So it definitely made me much more assertive in terms of what I would expect and what I want to do going forward. And I think as a writer, I would say insecure reminded me why I wanted to write in the first place was when I read that script, it just felt super fun. And it reminded me when you're in the network world or just the business a long time, you can kind of get hammered or drill. This is the way we do things, right? Or don't do it like this, or do do it like this. We're kind of getting this copycat formula and it really just reminded me when you're a kid and you're like coloring a picture and you might call it a cactus pink. You might cover the sun purple, and nobody tells a 5 year old, don't make the sound purple. You just let them create. And I was like, that's what this experience reminded me of. Like just create. Remember to have fun. That's why we're doing it. As opposed to being afraid to fail or not thinking about the business part. Then I went to go make insecure. It didn't make sense to be financially to go to a secure. It wasn't my material. I was losing money, but it was something in the tuning fork of it felt like the right thing to do creatively. So from that place, it has made me a better writer. It just freed me from the anxiety or the insecurity of a fear of what the business can kind of put into
Origins with James Andrew Miller
'Insecure' Showrunner Prentice Penny on How the Show Changed Him
"How did insecure change you? I think it changed me as a creator profoundly I started on girlfriends with primarily in African American show but certainly feeling like we were a marginalized and UPM CW not taken seriously by our peers and I think after having gone to network shows where I was the only person of color in the room. You sort of get used to like accepting things as they are, right? And going to do a secure with Easter Molina, but that energy of a young energy wanting to come in and take over as I did too, but you're also feeling like you're on the island all the time. Off of that experience was just like, no, we're not asking for permission anymore. We're just going to do the thing and speak up for what we want to do, how we want to build our crews, right? Saying that we're not going to 50% has to be people of color on women. And saying we're doing this or we're not doing this, right? And I just think it made me be much more vocal about the types of things that I would want going forward as a producer, like any other person, right? Like any other white creator gets to say, I want to do this. I want to do that. But sometimes when you're the only one you don't feel empowered to do that because you have to justify or explain why it just gets kind of tiring. So it definitely made me much more assertive in terms of what I would expect and what I want to do going forward. And I think as a writer, I would say insecure reminded me why I wanted to write in the first place was when I read that script, it just felt super fun. And it reminded me when you're in the network world or just the business a long time, you can kind of get hammered or drill. This is the way we do things, right? Or don't do it like this, or do do it like this. We're kind of getting this copycat formula and it really just reminded me when you're a kid and you're like coloring a picture and you might call it a cactus pink. You might cover the sun purple, and nobody tells a 5 year old, don't make the sound purple. You just let them create. And I was like, that's what this experience reminded me of. Like just create. Remember to have fun. That's why we're doing it. As opposed to being afraid to fail or not thinking about the business part. Then I went to go make insecure. It didn't make sense to be financially to go to a secure. It wasn't my material. I was losing money, but it was something in the tuning fork of it felt like the right thing to do creatively. So from that place, it has made me a better writer. It just freed me from the anxiety or the insecurity of a fear of what the business can kind of put into

So what was little bethany like. Can you tell me about her. I was similar to the way i am now. I always be to my own drum. I've always been. I was an only child. And i moved around a lot. I went to so many different schools. Thirteen different schools so i was always used to being new and i was grown up very very early. So as a little girl. I was adventurous and independent and alone a lot very analytical. Because i was alone a lot so i was sort of coming up with my own imagination and creativity and i saw a lot of crazy things i worked at the race. Track is very little kid. I would get up at five o'clock in the morning and go to the racetrack to be what they call a hot walker when they excise the horses and then you have to wash them and cool them doubt not though like driving race. Track the horse race. Track the horse. Okay cool. I was very independent as well. My parents were both working out of the house and a feel like that's what led me to be sort of entrepreneurial like i had to learn how to solve problems for myself at such a young age so i feel like maybe that's something we have in common.
Chicago Tonight
Lightfoot, Chicago Police Propose Changes to Search Warrant Policy in Wake of Botched Raid
"The second time since she became mayor of chicago lori. Lightfoot is changing the policy for win in house city. Police can execute search warrants. it comes as the chicago. Police department is under scrutiny. For botched raids including one that led to a lawsuit from ginette young. Amanda finicky joins us now with more. Amanda prentice once viewed. It is hard race that horrifying video of engine at young home and changing so naked. When chicago police burst into her home. An officer did eventually put a blanket over her but for a long stretch shoot was left. Naked wall restrained in handcuffs. When you see body camera video later on in the story you will see a black box that has heard digitally covered up by vesey. Pd when it made the footage public following investigative reporting by wb pm traumatic experience for young especially given police. Were in the wrong home. Mayor lightfoot premised change today. pd makes good on his promise to change. How search warrants are served in chicago. It's always the right time to do the right thing. We should always be volving to improve our policies training and accountability now new standards and procedures announced by cpi de chief david brown and mayor lightfoot required higher ranking command staff to sign off on requests for a warrant before it is brought to a state's turning judge considerations and plans must be made if vulnerable people. Mike children may be present than what a search is actually executed. A female officer must be present. Police must wear in activate body cameras. Lieutenant must also be on site and responsible for officers behavior the plan upfront spells out. What type of behavior is expected. All department members will treat all persons with courtesy and dignity which is inherently do every person and will act speak and conduct themselves in a courteous respectful and professional manner. And then it goes on from there. This is common sense but this is now enshrine in the actual policy. New policy does still allow for so called. No knock warrants but limited circumstances like when he life is in danger a fourth amendment allows for that to happen but only in certain circumstances where there's an establishment that evidence of a crime will be found in a particular location on no matter. How you slice it. It is an intrusion and so making sure that we get the facts details right and that there is ownership at the highest levels of c pd. It's critically important and please do get things wrong if there's bad evidence or something. The situation like what happened to young wrong raid. That has to be investigated. That's another safeguard that i believe. Personally it's critically important that the judge be notified that there was a one raid asked whether he's concerned that a standards click police in peril in potentially dangerous situations. Your brown responded. The real question you're asking is if treating someone with respect gets in the way of doing our job and the answer is no so following these policies and procedures with an emphasis on. Everyone deserves a measure of respect actually enhances our ability to do our job and create an environment of trust in the community. Which again is a force. Multiplier beanie effective at reducing. Cra in an email the president of the chicago fraternal order of police said that you had plenty of reaction to these new standards but he did not immediately. Follow up an email with specifics. The proposal did get the non from alderman. Chris taliaferro is head of the city council's public safety committee and also a former cia so these reforms that the mayor is announcing today will help bring about true accountability true responsibility but in a statement. Young's attorney says the proposal falls woefully short of the types of reforms that the citizens of chicago require to feel secure in their homes from these violent and often wrongful rates if the mayor is truly serious about reform statement says she'll get signed. An ordinance announced last week by a handful of black alderman also has the backing of progressive groups like lack lives matter and united working families and that plan does no knock. Warrants also expressly prohibits officers from pointing guns toward children and there is time for young the coalition of group. She's aligned with and really anybody else who wants to have their opinion made known about us to do social is going to have a fifteen day public comment period before these standards go into effect. It's a short period of time. Fifteen days and so encourage a france. You let's use social media Not just for passing around jokes and having a good time. Let's use this to improve our city.

At the moment it is the trajectory is upwards with twenty twenty. The trajectory was downwards. And that's that's not very good. I mean unless you started off the with a crippling eye infection but But it's fine. He's gonna stole it off on a on a sinking low and then begin to climb to high heights but that will will get the redoing podcast as well so that just partially mitigates the sinking lows of the so the air. And i'm just not having any more pessimism. Because i can't take it no it it. It's k acquired a puppy now so i'm all of 'em all about the optimism rock and i can do lockdown. Now how you happy new year quite recording this year's eve but you may well be listening to it in the year. Twenty twenty one from the future. Remember policy that we censor. Everyone's big plans for tonight sleeping. I was. I was concerned when david said he's he's had enough of pessimism and he's talking to us. That concerns me. Yeah need to be more optimistic of optimism for the three of us were. He's he certainly does fakes. Big big plans for tonight. David young kids. They're going to start until ten. I'm going to start until ten seventy. We're gonna rock it yet for anybody outside of the uk listening to this. We also i mean even if we were big time years people that would be nowhere frisco and nothing for today because everything's closed not allowed to see anyone. It's the new year scrooges dream actually. This is the first year is that. I have to justify or explain myself for not wanting to go clubbing on easy. Ironically this is the one year actually do want to go clubbing. Time my life. I would give anything to go clubbing. And i've literally never felt that way before you even close to it interesting to see what would happen if you could sort of exchange the to feelings. With respective years that they would align more health it would have helped me out of some witty dia situations in the past new year's relived it sir. It's well actually. Should we cover it. Should we cover off our tiny we morsels of if news before we get going with with. I know you're chomping at the bit david for at grow and we will get there very soon because there's not an awful lot of news. What we've got is that andy. Murray is now no longer. Playing the event of the year in doe ray beach. I think he could tell if marie actions when we reported that he he was down to play we were. We were pretty surprised by that Perhaps perhaps not so surprised that he's no longer down to play. We understand courtesy of elena crooks from pa that the association that is the. It's not it's not a fitness related withdrawal. We didn't know anything anything further. I assume something covert and travel related. But it's not a fitness relates to put out some some quotes to that effect now And and just the given the increase in covid rates in the transatlantic flights involved. I want to minimize the risks ahead of the australian open Which does tally with. What dan evans told me a few days ago and he pulled out earlier this week he was also gonna go to dell at one point but he just said this does The rules about getting into australia and getting into the australian open which he felt that delray beach could potentially compromise and and if he would have picked up the virus that he may have a real problem and he felt that the chances of getting that much higher so on the bounce of it all he would stay in the uk. Practice get ready and then flats by on the fifteenth of january. So and. i think that's what he's gonna do and they are going to do one of these little prentice bubbles between them. Yeah as i understand it. They're all there were three locations. Were tennis australia. Were laying on charter flights to into melbourne One of them is certainly dubai. Believe the us sworn is in la so to play delray beach. It wouldn't just be a matter of getting delray beach implying that you then have a an internal. Us flight ahead of you as well which surely makes it even less. Enticing prospects say That's that we live. News we will say Got news the ashpalt and brady ought to play doubles together in the australian open getting. Does that reignited. You'll brady fire david hers. It's best aside reignited. It's just been smoldering along. Evison thinking of unknown stolen. Very i i. I do hope that there's more of this though for the australian open if we could if we're moving the dates as they have in. It's going back three weeks and everything is thrown up in the way it is one nice little bonus would be some doubles teams just emerged out of singles plas- that you wouldn't normally gas and you could just just half an extra to the tournament so and i think that that's already a big one I can see the express online headline now. David law fire for jennifer brady continues to smolder
A Way to Garden with Margaret Roach
Native Groundcovers with Duncan Himmelman
"Com. But as i mentioned in the introduction. I'm now eradicating some naughty plants. Well oh yeah very much familiar And i i agree with you in terms of plants. Like and japanese pachysandra You know back forty years ago people were saying. Hey here are some great options for you and now fast forward. We're regretting every moment of having planted any of those in our yard so absolutely My interested in native ground covers of course comes from switching out those particular Particular ground cover options to Have native plants that can provide ecosystem benefits and provide alternatives to the lawn. Yes the naughty uninvited mental lawn. That doesn't do much for wildlife. And we momo and use all kinds of non-sustainable things in the process of doing so in feeding it in whatever so yeah prentice amazing so voided at all costs. So you've been thinking about grant covers for a long time as i recall. I think you even did. Maybe part of your doctoral work or some graduate work at cornell years ago on ground covers didn't you. I mean this has been a long interest. Yeah has In the urban horticulture institute at cornell and we were looking for a ground covers that would survive. Urban conditions and the premise of the research was to use woody plans instead of herbaceous plants and the reason being that what he plans year round structure. And if you're in In a city like or urban environment you can appreciate the fact that herbaceous ground covers. I'll lose their foliage over winter and people could step on them and compact the soil so we were looking for shrubs in point of fact That would be up to three feet in height and have some opportunity to spread and cover the ground fairly quickly so Yeah it was a an interest of mine at that time and you know in terms of recommending shrubs as ground covers. People have kind of shied away from that because they think of copper has traditionally being something that's low to the ground six or so inches and spreads but a number of shrubs it can Fill that role yes and in some spots especially you want that extra dimension i mean plus it really like i have a hillside just out on a on a very steep site in. Just there's a small sort of flat backyard area and then a water garden and then there's a steep incline again. You know where the property rises again. And i have a lot of ground covers on that area. It's a it's a. it's a tough spot to get in there and work in all the time you know. It's it's precarious. So it's great to have things that are kind of permanent and solid and been there a very long time and they don't have to get in there all the time and you know dead head or tweak constantino what i mean mean. There's a lot of maintenance that goes in to Pervasive ground covers and one of the One of the primary shrub plants. That i like to recommend for that exact situation a hillside. That's full sun facing Well drained is grow fragrance. su mac. It's it's the best choice for so many so many situations because it roots in quite easily. It spreads slowly but You know steadily and it has a lot of beautiful features such as the green foliage during the spring and summer and they turn beautiful beautiful crimson and wine reds in the fall so It's a plants that we were of course in our graduate research cornell and i see more and more being used out in the landscape whether it's urban commercial or even residential so great choice for that that kind of situation they love full sun.
MarketFoolery
Trillion-Dollar Optimism
"Dan Klein Dan. How are we doing? I'm doing well given the circumstances going a little crazy but working a lot and you know by all accounts do it. By how are you? I'm good Dan Strange Times. And let's get right to it because we're taping this around noon on Tuesday noon Eastern and at the time of our taping. I want you to to brace yourself at. The stock market is up and it is up big now. We have a lot of optimism. Tan Congress may be closing in on a two trillion dollar stimulus stimulus that would include direct payments as well as loan assistant programs for business. Now we don't know all the specifics. Dan Do right now. The market really seems to like the potential. The Dow up around seven percent investors feeling optimistic. Are you feeling optimistic? Yeah it's not even so much about the details. It's about kind of putting a floor on this. If we know that Boeing and southwest jetblue and other major industries aren't going to be driven out of business by this that that suggests that normalcy could eventually return. Obviously there's a lot of devil in the details but right now. This is just kind of creating some belief for people that eventually there will be a way out of this that there's a government backstop beat loans be a direct payments. That's going to help. People PAY THEIR BILLS. But also keep these companies open because these are all major major employers. I mean a lot of people will frame. This sort of government giveaway. But what are you supposed to do? The goal is to keep people at work and bat is leading to a ton of optimism. It Dan. Let's talk more about that. You just mentioned some of the Big Airlines and I'm wondering when it comes to the bailout piece of this. To what extent do you think the government will essentially be in the business of having to pick winners and losers having to decide? Who gets what how much. Yeah so. We've seen none of the details of exactly how this is GonNa work. But let's assume these are loans and that they're at least somewhat secured against the asset of the company. So the reality is I don't WANNA see failing companies get loans that keep them in business for another year or two when they would have died. Even if corona virus had not been issue. But I don't see so far a lot of mechanisms to stop that from happening. Obviously there has to be some sort of means. Testing looking at balance sheets looking at what company was doing but most of the names we've talked about. I mean obviously Boeing is headed struggles. But it was a fairly solid business before this. All of the the airlines. We've mentioned jetblue. Southwest those were on firm financial footing. So it's GonNa be the company's on in in some of the more struggling industries. We talked about retailers last week. Some of those were going away anyway. That's probably true of some of the hotel brands that have had their struggles Maybe some overbuilt casinos. So yeah we need to see the rest of this and some of this money might go to things that don't deserve when you work this fast. That almost has to happen. Okay Dan now. You're in Florida and I know from our recent conversation that you love a good cruise so I wanna you want to get your thoughts on how this might shake out for the cruise industry and specifically the big pureplays. Now we have carnival which owns Prentice and Holland America among others. We have Royal Caribbean. We have Norwegian are the cruise company is going to get some relief from the stimulus. And if not can they stay in business so I don't think they are because they're largely dot? Us companies some of their subcontractors. Might maybe some of their workers will be covered in different aspects of this. Obviously a lot of their workers are not American though. Of course their office personnel largely our citizens so but I can only speak to royal and Carnival I. I haven't looked into Norwegians finances but both royal and Carnival do have significant Barak Capability They do have a lot of money on hand. They have capital projects. They could push off in a time where it's GonNa take a while for demand to recover. They probably don't need to build as many new ships so assuming this ends in four to eight weeks or and people can get back out on the Ocean. They will probably make it through. I looked at all the numbers yesterday and it looks encouraging the challenge for them is will people come back. And as I've mentioned to you I have cruises book I fully intend to cruise this summer Unless the situation remains this dire of but this is an industry that's very very vulnerable to public perception and people. It's hard to know if they will think this is safe. Even when the rest of the world has returned to normal and Dan I wanna hit it from the public sector and the potential bail out here to the private sector were really starting to see some interesting partnerships in the private sector. We had an announcement today. That Ford will be partnering with Three M. and GE healthcare to begin producing facemask and ventilators. What do you make of news like that that answer some questions for me because when Ford and other automakers were talking about making ventilators and as someone who used to run a factory I thought wait a minute like how do you of the Tulane? How'd you have it on even like the blueprint for how to bake a ventilator? Is it that easy and clearly? It's not that hard. But they're going to get assistance from three M on how to make it. Some of the supply chain repurpose things like fans they use in certain ventilated seats To work in ventilator so this is industry sort of the best of the best coming together to make something that needs to happen happen and it's very encouraging
Second Opinion
The need to focus on de-prescribing
"Americans take more drugs than any other people on earth and many of these drugs are prescribed by doctors. Healthcare providers are great at prescribing drugs. But we're not very good at deep. Prescribing them a case in point Americans seem to be plagued by stomach pains that are often the result of the stomach producing too much acid and that begins to chew away at the lining of the stomach. Doctors have a happy to prescribing a group of drugs called Proton pump inhibitors or PPI's drugs like Mapra zoll marketed. Under the trade name of Perla Soccer Essombe appraisal nexium or Lancer proposal. Prentice said they. Effectively block gastric acid. Secretion these very same drugs are also effective at treating ulcers that form when people take too many pain relievers things like Ibuprofen. Naproxen will these. Ppi drugs are very effective when they're used for a short period of time but longer term use months and months are associated with increased risk of Intestinal Infections Mal. Absorption of nutrients like Magnesium Iron B twelve and chloride Americans spend nearly ten billion dollars a year just on these types of drugs and it turns out that more than half of the people taking the drugs. Don't need them well. Drug companies are pros at getting doctors to start using drugs often by giving them free samples or free gifts or invitations to free dinners. They have no interest or even negative interest in helping us to stop inappropriate overuse. In fact the drug companies profit from overuse and that revenue helps them generate corporate profit. There is little argument that there is a need to improve the science of deep prescribing closely. Dangerous or unnecessary medications now. With regard to these Proton pump inhibitors is often hard to halt these drugs. Because a sudden stop causes more stomach acid produced which results in worsening symptoms and then the feeling that the person needs to return to using the drugs to control the symptoms but there are effective ways to taper off. The drug. Many classes of drugs are overused. Some are started for good reasons and they're good for short periods of time but they should be stopped after weeks or months as we age the drugs and the doses of medicines. We need change. It's ironic that older. People are prescribe more medicines but age increases side effects and drug drug interactions and doctors often forget to re evaluate long-term drugs to see if they're still needed proton pump. Inhibitors are the poster child for D. Prescribing. But so too are antidepressants. Muscle relaxants which incidentally have no effect on mussels diabetes drugs and much more after all. The goal of deep prescribing is to reduce medication. Use both for safety and for

How Can I Get Glowing Skin?
"Another questions skin. Some skin stuff Elissa wrote to US recently turned thirty five and we'll be getting married soon my partner and I are having a very small ceremony suck Tober and a big bash next October and twenty twenty. I'd love to have a healthy clear glowing skin for our middle of the woods ceremony Aronie but have absolutely no idea where to start have oily skin mostly on my tease zone and though it is generally clear I tend to have a handful of tiny pimples on my forehead at any given time I also have large pores my morning skin care routine typically consists of washing my face with whatever body washes on hand prentice looks down in shame and using using moisturizer and tinted moisturizer with SPF. I'd love to incorporate some new products and steps into my skin care routine but I'm not sure where to start. Please help okay first of all. This is a no shame game. Okay you can wash your face with whatever there's we are not going to shame you know so he washing with body wash cool <hes> that being said Mary did you have thoughts on this. Yeah Yeah also congratulations feel you on being worried about your skin and all that stuff and I I relate but how cool you're getting remarried and it sounds like it's it the fact that you're splitting it into two like sounds like they'll be like a really intimate thing which is awesome and then like a big fun thing and like those two degrees are kind of perfect because the intimate thing people will love you big thing people are just having fun around you so. I would definitely be that person not like hey. This is just a cool thing in maybe exactly what your pores are doing. What like dilation radius there at is like you know like ninth thank priority maybe but also Doria. I feel like you're the person who knows all the secrets so well. I did have some thoughts <hes>. I don't know if if you know this is secret level but but I had some thoughts share the secret story well I. I thought here's I thought you might WanNa. Try It night. <hes> I would start with an oil. Clinton's or a missile air water or you could do both you could do a double inclines <hes> and then I would do a Pixie glow tonic which has five percent cholic acid and that'll be a nice exp- wchs fully end and we'll help with those tiny temples and then I would maybe alternate that with a physical exfoliating cure brightening scrub then I would do an. Ha Serum like the ordinaries which is like nine bucks and on top. I would do an oil <hes> if you want to splurge splurge you could go for something like the urban for lapis facial oil which is a balancing oil intended for people with oily skin and I know you're thinking you're thinking talking. I have oily skin. Why am I going to add oil to it but adding oil you're facing up oily skin. Actually tells your skin not to produce as much oil yeah and balances it out balances it out so <hes> that's what. I would suggest some sort of routine like that you don't. I I think you don't WanNa go too complicated complicated <hes> and then I would also maybe do like the drunk elephant baby facial once a week just to really like clear things up up. You know there's a <hes> just because you said Pixie glow tonic there is a Pixie and caroline hurons. The irony highlands using there is a Pixie Caroline Highlands <hes> double cleanse the it's twenty bucks. It has a cleansing oil and a cleansing cream. I haven't used it. I'm always tempted to buy it yeah. They have so many cleansers at home that I just can't do it but I have friends who use it and love it. That's a that's a good price. I like that and and <hes> it's part of their clean beauty. Paraffin freeze cruelty free sounds great and then for daytime. I would be really gentle. I don't you know I'm a proponent of not washing your face in the morning <hes> unless you feel like really greasy already like you feel like there's something you need to take off your face <hes> otherwise. I would just like splash some water on it and if maybe puts me slayer water on if you really feel like you need to like take something off. <hes> you say you're already using moisturizer. I don't know what you're are using from wiser but I would do a light. Gel MOISTURIZER <hes> I've talked about the bioscience squally and probiotic Joel moisturizer. It's great <hes> it's a little pricey but if that's something you want to splurge on I would say that's a good splurge <hes> and then I would follow that with your sunscreen <hes> and if he wanted to hear him in the morning you could always do like a vitamin C serum. <hes> drunk elephant makes a C. Firma Day serum. That's it's really nice <hes> and you can get Sephora sells <hes> like a little mini thing of that with another one of their vitamin in be serum products so that's a good way to try it and see if your skin likes it because vitamin.

Warriors' Steve Kerr: Russell Westbrook's Media Approach 'Dangerous' for the NBA
"Westbrook has been in the spotlight. Once again, this postseason as he continues to respond next question when he's posed a question from one of the thunders beat reporters with Westbrook has had an issue since twenty fifteen after the warriors win over the clippers in game four Sunday. Golden State coach Steve Kerr telling reporters that the whole next question thing is dangerous for the NBA. Ethan Strauss of the Atlantic was there. He was also guest earlier on into the night here on ESPN radio. Become bewailed players are interfacing with media van. Extension, and it's spreads further than all of a sudden it becomes a problem for the week. I think general the week and have a few villains, right? They can have a you guys who are sort of jerks, and they can play that role. They can be ill and in wrestling for the league. But you can't you can't have dozens of that. And it seems like jerky Schnitt seems to have been spreading the even the players wouldn't have where we see Anthony Davis. Where does that also in his final game be radically in New Orleans? So I think that's a problem for the league. I look, I don't know. I don't know. That matters much is curbing does of these guys do these. We don't know much about football players. Scranton football's pretty popular. So I don't know the fancy over they are. But I do know that broadcasting urkish nece is bad for the league. I think that's about book, Ethan. How about the the obvious pushback on Kerr where in one game so far where his all star team has met any adversity. Kevin Durant and Draymond green. Blew off the presser altogether in the post game. Is that preferable? I'm just kinda wondering if that if you mentioned that at all to him in your conversation about this all the brief conversation on the way to the buck that we didn't get to get into those getting those issues and the obvious one that he would be asked about how you feel by your players, and they do that. I would assume knowing Steve does not like that. And he would not condone that he would not say that is the way it should be handled. I think next question ain't good. But even the Prentice also knock it as well. But it just seems that the NBA that they've been a little bit, you know, off of this stuff. And even if it's in the contract guys should do this or that, there isn't a whole lot of enforcement. And it will be interesting to see if Adam silver changes mind, just because of the book that bending, I don't know. I don't know. I I'm spacious in general on the idea. I am suspicious. A little bit of some of the claims even making he could be right. You certainly have more experienced broadcaster the NBA. That I do. But I do wonder if a lot of the engagement on Twitter, and knowing about everything you guys are doing their personalities do wonder if that even matters. I think the game would sell that. That's does it for the NFL. I wonder if the NBN away gotten almost distracted getting heavy social media, and it's not actually
Marketplace Tech with Molly Wood

Google built Email for politicians, but you have to trust Google from American public media. This is marketplace tech demystifying the digital economy. I'm Ali would. Email can be very vulnerable way to communicate especially if you're sending around valuable information because you're a politician or a journalist or an activist high profile Email users are targets for hackers trying to get them to click the wrong link and give up their passwords. Google actually offers a version of g mail with extra security, you need a physical USB key to log in and anyone can use it. But Google markets it to these high profile users Mark Risher is head of Google's account security team in creator of what's called the advanced protection program. What we realized was that while we do our utmost to protect everyone. There's some people that need really to turn it up to the max that whether they are activists or journalists or political figures the risk or the likelihood of an attack is particularly high. And so we built advanced protection. Yes. As the Fort Knox to give them Google strongest security offerings all in one place. I mean, I suppose that even. If you were let's say candidate who was enrolled in advanced protection. But you were emailing somebody who wasn't isn't the weakest link in any of your communication like the dumb person on the other end. I wouldn't say the dumb person because. Yeah. The the attackers are going after everyone, and they will look for wherever they can get through. And they have the advantage that they get to keep trying until they succeed. But you're right in your Prentice that communication is multi party. It's two way. And so if either side is compromised, and yes, there is vulnerability. Right. And I mean, I guess that raises the question should anybody. Use Email should sensitive information in this day and age be in Email at all it feels like a real question. But the challenge is we need to communicate to do our jobs. You know, if we were to go live in a cave and only pass handwritten notes back and forth. It would be unlikely. Someone would steal those handwritten notes, but we also would be going at such low bandwidth. We couldn't get our jobs done information sharing. And all of these communication tools are. Mendis-led valuable, for example, when we talk to political campaigns. They say, you know, think of a campaign as a startup that comes together just for a few months with just one objective. Every second counts they're going as fast as possible, and they need to be able to use the wide panoply of communication tools at their disposal. Mark pressure is head of Google account security team. So, but you know, people are still skeptical of Google, so we checked with an independent cybersecurity expert on whether even a higher security version of g mail is a good idea. Bruce Schneier said he personally doesn't use Google at all he said here in the US government can just subpoena your g mail and Google has to hand it over. But he said in countries with autocrat regimes that can't just ask Google for Email records, the program could be good protection from surveillance, Nigeria and Khazakstan Syria and east Neo Pia bunch of countries in the Arab states bunch of countries in Latin America, former Soviet republics all these cuts. Stories are using toviolence tools to spy on people for political purposes and people who are at risk of there. This is a great system. Schneider said even US citizens working in other countries with routine surveillance, should definitely secure their Email and now for some related links. Even though the FCC officially repealed net neutrality that wasn't enough for the Trump administration and the telecom industry, several broadband lobbying groups and AT and T had actually petitioned the supreme court to overturn 2016 ruling that up held net neutrality rules, that's constitutional and within the purview of the FCC telecoms and the administration wanted the supreme court to throw out that ruling altogether. So it could not be used as legal precedent down the road. But the high court said, no, although Justice, Brad Kavanagh and chief Justice John Roberts recused themselves. Both of them said they totally would have overruled the lower court if they had been there, though, another story you might have missed on a lighter note electric, scooter company bird launched its service in London sort of a law from eighteen thirty five has blocked the use of the scooters on Britain's streets, but the company can operate on private land with the.
