In this episode, Joe and Ethan dive deep into the frustrations of modern government, bureaucracy, and why everything feels so broken.

From building a house and getting hit with $26,000 in permit fees to questioning why our political system runs on empty slogans instead of real solutions, they explore government inefficiency, corruption, and whether AI could actually do a better job than politicians.

The hosts also touch on population decline, economic growth, and how our systems seem designed to keep things inefficient.
