Episode notes
Three Cohorts Define Voter Priorities
- Chamath frames voter concerns as three cohorts: retirees worried about healthcare, middle-income families hit by cost-of-living, and young people burdened by student debt.
- He argues targeted programs for each cohort are the path to regain lost purchasing power and electoral support.
Targeted Programs To Win Voters Back
- Narrowly reduce healthcare friction for older voters by cutting prior-auth delays and subsidizing out-of-pocket costs through creative non-general-fund financing.
- Lower middle-income utility costs at scale using corporate-backed home energy upgrades paired with tax rebates to reduce CPI pressure.
Federal Loan Policy Fuels Tuition Inflation
- Chamath highlights that federal underwriting of student loans treats disparate degrees equally, misaligning incentives and fueling tuition inflation.
- He suggests differentiating federal support by expected economic value of programs to curb impractical, high-cost degrees.
