Dumb BLEEP of the Week - WNBA, Mamdani, Bernie, Trump & More!

Episode notes

"Woke One was crazy." Medicare for All supposedly saves a trillion dollars. And apparently Amazon subcontracting needs to be saved by making subcontracting illegal. Welcome to Dumb Bleep of the Week.

Nate and Charlie break down nine of the dumbest political and economic stories of the week, including the WNBA's transgender eligibility debate, Zohran Mamdani's Delivery Protection Act, AOC's comments about the politics of the woke era, and Bernie Sanders' child poverty statistic.

Then we get into the Medicare for All math, the claim that billionaires can somehow pay for everything, and a healthcare study claiming universal Medicare could save more than 114,000 lives and roughly a trillion dollars per year.

Plus, Republicans tell Americans to be patriotic about higher prices, Missouri lawmakers demand AI transparency while an AI-related surprise appears in their own document, and Ryan Grim gives us a perfect fixed-pie economics lesson. If you enjoy libertarian politics, free-market economics, government skepticism, and making fun of terrible political arguments, subscribe or follow the show.
