This episode examines how a future where AI replaces human labor could trigger a tax revenue crisis, using Akron’s decline after losing its tire industry as a cautionary example. It also covers a new Colorado River management plan that is already facing pushback, and checks in on a small business’s recovery two years after Hurricane Helene. The show opens with what economists hope to hear from Fed Chair Warsh’s Jackson Hole speech.
