Episode notes
Speaker 3
maybe over or underrated as an explanation of why the world is the way that it is, rather than, I assume most people would say they're against industry capture. Got it. Okay, just checking.
Speaker 4
I think probably overrated in some circles, underrated in others. I think on that maybe underrated as an explanation.
Speaker 1
Normatively, I don't think industry capture is necessarily so bad. It depends on the alternative. So a lot of times it gets things done. You build up cities, you have a lot of construction. The government where I live, Fairfax County, at times has been quite captured by real estate developers. I'm all for that. Bring it on. It's
Speaker 4
one good recipe for EMB. The CDC. I
Speaker 2
mean, they're not highly rated at the moment.
Speaker 4
I think scientific talent at the CDC underrated outcomes probably appropriately rated as not so hot in recent years.
Speaker 3
Nuclear waste. Dial it up.
Speaker 1
I've been reading all these pieces lately. It's not such a big problem. I don't feel I can judge. But given the alternatives, I want more nuclear power. And if we have to deal with waste, I
Speaker 3

Speaker 1
underrated.
Speaker 3
Seems underrated. Same. Global zero for nukes.
Speaker 1
Just impossible. Is it
Speaker 2
a serious plan for many people?
Speaker 3
Who goes first? Barack Obama seemed to believe in it a little bit. He seemed important for a while. But
Speaker 1
what did he do? I don't blame him. I think it's impossible. But you can cut back on the number. It doesn't really matter. You might save some money. Yeah.
Speaker 3
Zoonosis.
