Welcome everyone to another regularly scheduled rerun as promised.

This is the second of two reruns going out to during our holiday break.

Also as promised, members are enjoying their second bonus edition in which

Amanda and I, I think honestly do the impossible.

We not only talk about some of the nuances of technical legislation,

but also discuss get this, the concept of standing in line.

And we manage to make it all interesting.

I promise.

A listener recently asked me how we can create legislation without it being made worse

when people allow their pre-existing ideologies to get in the way,

you know, rather than just trying to do what's best.

And this discussion is my answer to that listener.

And as part of that conversation, we talk about climate legislation and some of

the ways economists think.

So I was able to find this perfect companion episode to go with it.

So enjoy this breakdown of the clash between climate science and economic theory.

And if you're a member now or want to sign up as one, of course,

listen in on our deep dive on how ideology gets in the way of good policy.

Did you get that?
