Episode notes

i love your uncepeneralism, that there's like, this is so american. There's money in this of but i, as an economist, like incentives. Sure, pay people to take tests. It's a great idea. I do really think this s going to be a very interesting test. We don't like our government telling us what behaviour o can do. And one story we got from a founder we work with who had family in china, said, they're now taking your temperature when you land and then putting tape over the door to see if you've left since they were last there. That can't be reale crazy in some parts of time
