CORRECTION: "I, Pencil" was written by Leonard Read. I'll link to it in the notes below.Welcome back!This one was recorded in the car and there was a little more background noise than usual, but this episode is still chock full of great content.Today's episode focuses on two laws everyone can get behind: Trump's executive order for clear medical prices, and a new federal law against animal cruelty.Even Trump's fiercest critics remained silent as he signed these into law. But are these laws really as "good" as they seem?We'll explain how transparent pricing will only make our healthcare system an even BIGGER mess, and discuss some ways that it could really be improved.Then we'll talk about the federal animal cruelty law, and how it is set up to be a breeding ground for corruption.Available now on all major podcast platforms.
