The Cost of War and the Price of Everything

Tracy Connors filled in this week, and we got into the cost of the Iran conflict, why nobody in Washington ever seems able to give a straight answer, and how somehow, every crisis ends with you paying more at the pump. We also talked about government-run grocery stores, toll roads, gas taxes, public waste, and the general miracle of politicians always needing more money while everything still looks broken.

Then, because this is how the show works, we took a turn into whether women really make friends with strangers in public restrooms and wrapped up with AI, Gen Z, and why fighting the future usually doesn’t work out great.
