  • Summary

  • As Democrats struggle to define the future they want to create, we're joined by Ezra Klein, host of The New York Times podcast "The Ezra Klein Show" and co-author of "Abundance," to examine why turning progressive visions into reality has become so difficult. We explore how good intentions have created obstacles, how empowering officials can streamline government, and what could be achieved without bureaucratic constraints.

US be unbalanced

I really enjoyed this episode. It really highlights that government is run in a state of anxiety. Understandbly.
This is the natural progression for a government trying to correct itself. However, the answer isn't to completely dismantle it.
