In this week’s episode we cover teaching with AI, clearing the way for new nuclear development, and eliminating soda and candy from government food aid programs. Our interview this week is with Ryan Young, Senior Economist at the Competitive Enterprise Institute. He has plenty of problems with where economic, trade, and tariff policy is going right now, so we’ll talk about what we should do instead.
