Hello and welcome to Optimist Economy. I'm Catherine. I'm Robin.

On this show, we believe the U.S. economy can be better, and we talk about how to get there

when problem and solution at a time.

We'd like to start the show by asking you for money because we need some.

And there's a lot of ways you can help us in this respect.

You can go to Buy Me a Coffee, give us money directly, Optimist Economy for Buy Me a Coffee.

You should go to Optimisteconomy.com where we have a newsletter, where you can be a subscriber and hear

lots from us, not just the show, or become a paying subscriber and support us. And of course,

you can review us on Apple and Spotify. We need to shout out one review, which I saw on Apple

podcast this past week. And I think our longtime listeners will know why I found this so delightful.

It's a five-star review.

The review is, quote, to give the listener a better idea of this podcast, I need to go back

and talk about the Communications Act of 1934.

Not only did I just giggle when I read that, I actually applauded a little in my own seat.

So good. I think it's not just that y'all like the show. It's that you, like, you actually do hear us,

or at least hear me going back to the 1930s and beyond to talk about AI. So I just, I felt like the fact that you would joke about it

means that on some level you appreciate it. And so I very much appreciate it in return.

Thanks. And it does help us a lot for you guys to review us both on Apple Podcasts, but also

on Spotify on various episodes.

Thanks for doing it.

Thanks for doing it.

So retcon.
