Terrible podcast, just terrible malpractice of journalism. It really really goes light on SBF and FTX. It was a terribly run company with no controls. I don’t think they even looked into the shit show that was ftx, and just focused on the bankruptcy.

Seriously. I sue drug companies, you don't have to tell me they suck, nor explain to me the risks of pharmaceuticals. But vaccines are different, they're like stealing fire from the Gods and burning plagues with it. Their benefit/risk ratio is downright magical.

Adults who are severely immunocompromised, and cannot mount their own effective immune response to vaccination, rely on herd immunity for protection against terrible diseases. This isn't just about children – those disabled adults also deserve to live.

Trump plans to continue transacting foreign business deals with an even worse ethics plan than his first term. He's tapping wealthy investors and billionaires to make decisions on regulations and contracts they may profit from—without divestment. A clear recipe for corruption.

If Biden really opposes Trump's mass deportation plans one thing he could do is pardon everyone who entered the country illegally more than 20 years ago or under the age of 12 or who is awaiting an asylum decision.

However, for the seven other examples tested, most voters think immigrants should not be deported. Only 31% of voters think a person with a doctoral degree from a U.S. university who overstayed their visa should be deported. Additionally, less than 1 in 4 voters think the following people should be deported: an undocumented community volunteer who has lived in the U.S. for 10 years and has no criminal record (24%), an undocumented person who has lived in the U.S. for 15 years and has U.S.-born children (24%), and an undocumented person who has lived in the U.S. for more than 10 years and owns a small business employing American workers (24%).

Even smaller percentages of voters think a person residing in the U.S. under Temporary Protected Status (TPS) from an ongoing conflict (21%), a person who has been awaiting a decision on their asylum application for three years (20%), and a person brought to the U.S. without legal status as a child 20 years ago (19%) should be deported.
