What is there to say about the Dobbs decision honestly? A calamitous choice by the Supreme Court that will have unknowable and incalculable negative consequences. Listen along as Megan and Clayton take you through a deep dive of just how badly we need to reject it in every way possible.

Term limits are incredibly popular, but just about all of the empirical evidence demonstrates that they don't work to achieve their goals, and instead result in lots of negative unintended consequences. Instead of doubling down on a demonstrably bad policy, we should look to other strategies to help improve electoral accountability.

Over the last couple decades, and especially in the Trump era, it seems like people no longer face appropriate consequences for their behavior. A certain strain of this thought essentially contends that consequences are inherently unjustified. But, as we've moved away from social censure and accountability, we've become a country of jerks where "consideration" is something others need to show you rather than something you are supposed to show others.

Simply put, cars have gotten too damn big. The size of cars these days is bad for people, for the environment, for infrastructure, for just about everything. But it's not something we can't do anything about. It's a problem largely created by policy that can be resolved by policy.

YIMBYs for Harris co-founder and co-host of the upcoming "Radio Abundance" Podcast, Nia Johnson joins us to talk about how we got to this point, where we have a practically nationwide housing crisis. Listen along as we talk about how more than a half century of bad policy led us here, and what kinds of policies we need to embrace to get ourselves out.

In the last half century, governments across the anglosphere, but especially in the United States, have become obsessed with means testing. But ultimately, this kind of program ends up being far less effective, and even more expensive, than universal programs. We know this because we still have universal programs, and those programs are just about the most popular things the government does. Listen along as Megan and Clayton talk about why we need to move away from means tested programs, and back towards universal ones.

One of the biggest reasons why it feels like government can't get anything done these days is because we have developed a complete an utter addiction to process. And those processes have been co-opted by people who would prefer that the government do nothing. In order to solve this problem, we need to reject that addiction to process, and focus on getting results.

The last 40 years have seen an almost non-stop campaign from the right wing to make government smaller and privatize its functions. Put simply, this does not work and has created problems all over the place for basically everyone. If we want to be able to do big things, then we need a government capable of putting them together.
