This episode begins with some grievances about when it was agreed we'd start the podcast recording. From there, we have a freeform conversation that flows through: Quiet quitting, Elon Musk, the role of CEOs, Trump back on social media, The Village app and decentralizing community, DC Rec center has been moved thanks to listener support, a bullet through the front door of our rec center, holiday plans, black-owned businesses, Darius meeting with the 1%, Darius meeting Van Jones, Jeff Bezos giving money away, Dolly Parton’s reading program, how would you use 100 million, do cash injections solve people’s problems, cost of living, and most of the homes being bought by investors, and finally, would you rather have a couple of 5-star employees or ten 2-star employees?
