It’s hot and heavy in Brooklyn and these podcast hosts are here to roast boomer senators for only passing laws that benefit them. We’re talking about the Secure Act 2.0 and a bill to expand the use of 529 college savings funds for retirement. While there are no IPOs to chat about, our hosts are staying entertained by some crazy s*** that went down in a SPAC merger at a Philippines casino. Finally, some good news: Slack’s program to help formerly incarcerated folks learn to code and get placed at high-paying tech jobs is working. This one is heartwarming.
