9 months ago we launched SGDQ with Mark Cuban and in this extended re-air of that episode Nayeema asks: Can billionaires (still) save us? And what happens on their group chat? 

It’s a pressing question in the midst of our A.I. series as the world’s wealth — and power —  seems to be getting even more concentrated, and candidates like Zohran Mamdani are willing big on an affordability agenda that focuses on the, um, not billionaires. 

So is America’s love/hate relationship with the ultra-rich justified? If capitalism broke health care, can capitalism fix it? Why does buying life-saving medicine feel like getting mugged at CVS? And what actually changes when you go from your first million… to your first billion? And does Mark Cuban believe in UBI?
Make sure you’re following Nayeema and the show on YouTube, Instagram and TikTok.
